Mr. Speaker, let me try again and I will speak very slowly this time. First, General Motors, I repeat, did not announce lay-offs under required legislation. It announced the possibility of lay-offs, if it did not get more orders.
These jobs were in jeopardy in London, Ontario two years ago. Because of the actions of EDC and General Motors, those lay-offs were forestalled two years ago and we certainly hope they will be forestalled again.
