Mr. Speaker, as I said when I first stood up, philosophically the member for Winnipeg—Transcona and I are diametrically opposed in our beliefs with respect to privatization and nationalization of services.
I did not accuse the member for Winnipeg—Transcona of wanting to nationalize Coca-Cola. I suggested that corporations may well not be one of the finest words in the vocabulary of the NDP government. Corporations are a very important and necessary engine of our economy in Canada.
Not only philosophically do Progressive Conservatives and the NDP differ but the hon. member who posed the question may have some difficulty arguing with himself right now. Quite frankly what is going is going to jeopardize 110 jobs. These are jobs in the private sector. We talk about CN, we talk about Volvo, we talk about other corporations laying off people. Why is it the hon. member has no heart for the 110 people who are already employed in this industry? It is an industry that has overcapacity. When there is too much capacity in the marketplace there are going to be layoffs. These people are going to be jeopardized by that.
Why is the hon. member worried about other jobs and other corporations but in this particular case, where it is proven, he does not have any compassion for these 110 people?
