Mr. Speaker, I will answer very briefly, since I do not have a lot of time.
The MPs who joined together to discuss this matter say that we would have to get back to the 10,000 to 12,000 job level we had in the past. At the present time, we are operating at only 40% of capacity. These are well-paid jobs, but no more so than in other countries. We are competitive. Even in constant U.S. dollar levels, wages here are no higher than elsewhere, with the exception of Korea.
The most important thing is the economic fallout of those jobs. In the export sector for instance, the number of jobs that would be created in Canada would be fourfold.
