It obviously works for Bombardier, Mr. Speaker. Bombardier really likes it.
Here is what I would like to know. Canadians making as little as $8,500 a year pay taxes so this minister can then turn around and give that money to big business. I wonder if that is truly appropriate.
Here is my question again. I would like an answer this time. If Bombardier can pay $7.5 million to lay off two retired executives, why can it not come up with $1.6 million to save 900 jobs of workers on the floor at Bombardier? Why the corporate welfare?
