Mr. Speaker, I am not sure whether the hon. member has thought of a different use for the product we all buy at the pumps. Perhaps he has. I am not sure what it is. The last time I checked, most of it goes into motor vehicles.
He will know that Canada has benefited very well from the fact that there is a very strong continental market in motor vehicles. We produce about 17 per cent of the North American production and we only consume about 8 per cent. That benefits us very directly in terms of jobs and economic growth.
The vehicles that are being produced use the product at the pumps. It should have come to his attention that the new cars require fuel without MMT. If he would like to have his constituents purchasing vehicles that either cost a lot more or have their diagnostic systems unplugged, then he ought to be in support of keeping the MMT in the fuel. But until we find some other use for it-and perhaps he breathes it, I do not know-we have to have continental standards in fuel.
