Mr. Speaker, before I answer that question I cannot help but respond to the member's assertion that the government has done great things such as the millennium scholarship fund.
We just heard from the Auditor General yesterday who said that $7 billion in foundations is sitting there untapped. In terms of the scholarship fund, students are dying to get into university but cannot because the tuition is too high, and the government is allowing the foundation to sit on $690 million in interest alone because of inaction. It could have used that money to pay the tuitions for 200,000 students.
Shame on the Liberals when it comes to education. Shame on the Liberals when it comes to the environment. We have heard nothing but empty rhetoric from Liberals and no decisive plan of action.
The question about the auto workers is a very important one. The parliamentary secretary should know that we have been working with both the environmental community and representatives of the auto workers. We have developed a win-win plan for climate change.
The auto sector is vital to our economy. We have had great success and continuing that success will be based on Canadian auto producers taking the North American lead on future manufacturing, design and production. The future of this production is green. What would hurt the auto dealers and the industry generally is not tax disincentives. It would be refusing to leap at the opportunities lying open at this critical moment.
