Mr. Speaker, it is a pleasure to ask my colleague from the industry committee a question on this important debate. In his speech he referenced the sad closure of Gildan. I know, in the context of that closing, that there was a big CEO payout, which was interesting to see at the same time. What is interesting, and people should know, is that the company was profitable in Canada. It was very viable but is now closed.
I would like the member to expand on his comments in terms of the repercussions to people in that area, of losing this manufacturing facility, and whether or not he feels that could have been avoided had we been more progressive on this file?
