Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I assume that we'll be voting on the motion, so I'll take this opportunity to make another comment.
It's surprising to see the federal government allocate $1 billion in public funding to a project that will be carried out in China. Not that long ago, ministers from this government were touring the country promising that major infrastructure projects would be built with Canadian steel. These ferries will be built with steel at a time when American tariffs are affecting our industry. My constituency has a steel mill with thousands of workers. I'm sure that they would like to secure contracts and public funding, rather than see these things sent to countries such as China.
As elected representatives, I think that we should all reflect on these matters and show sensitivity when it comes to future decisions. After all, people are at risk of losing their jobs. They're concerned about the situation and they want to see their elected officials handle it responsibly.
