Mr. Speaker, in fact members of the NDP said that getting rid of chapter 11 would make our trade ability with our trade partners impossible. That means that we would no longer be in an open globalized trading market. That is not what Canadians want.
For every $1 billion in trade in this country 15,000 jobs are created. Most of the jobs I spoke of in my dissertation are unionized jobs. They are jobs I am sure the member would love to see more of, but they come about because of open trade. To get rid of chapter 11 would be to stop that and close the doors on that type of trade. I am sure the member would agree that 15,000 jobs for every $1 billion of trade is very important not only for him and his members but also for other Canadians.
