Mr. Speaker, I am just a little surprised. That sounded to me more like a TV commercial full of buzzwords.
Hamilton Specialty Bar, a plant in Hamilton, needed the government to step up to the plate. It needed both levels of government, provincial and federal, to come together and come up with a strategy of loan guarantees or something that would help entice a buyer into that plant and it has received nothing.
In the response I did not hear anything around a buy Canadian policy for the goods and services of the government.
