Mr. Speaker, there has never been any question of the jobs of AMF going anywhere else but where they are.
The question we have been trying to address now for several years, as the hon. member should know, is whether through co-operation between Canadian National, GEC Alsthom and the employees we can keep an operation going in Quebec that has between 600 and 1,300 employees, depending on the level of demand within the shop.
The hon. member would be far better advised if he spent his efforts trying to convince the parties to arrive at an agreement rather than raising the spectre of the jobs going somewhere else. If the jobs are not kept in Montreal at AMF by GEC Alsthom and by CNR they will not be going anywhere else, they will disappear. That would be very unfortunate for Montreal, for Quebec and for Canada.
