Mr. Speaker, we are as disappointed in these layoffs as the member is.
We know that Xstrata obviously is facing some tough times. We worked with Xstrata rather than take it to court, which is what the NDP would love to do. We worked with the company and got an extra $290 million of investment in the legal books for Sudbury. We are working on behalf of Sudbury and the workers in the future. Three hundred jobs were saved by that.
I am proud of our record. I am going to keep working for Sudbury, even though the member is interested in paying off lawyers.
