Mr. Speaker, if I was a rabid socialist I probably could support that idea very well, but the fact is that I am a free enterpriser, always have been and always will be.
To place those types of requirements on Canadian business of any kind, whether it is a bank, Magna Industries or Bombardier, is a profound intrusion of government into free enterprise and I could never support that.
Let me point out to this member that it is Canadian business which provides millions and millions of jobs in this country. Those members may think that it is government that should employ everyone, but the fact is that Canadian business is the number one employer, always has been and always will be.
As this economy grows we can look to Canadian business, which is employing workers who support that party and other parties. Canadian business writes the cheques for this country and keeps the economy going.
