Mr. Speaker, the minister's capacity for misquotation never fails to astonish me.
Last week, GM testified to the auto subcommittee that it had committed all of its worldwide assets, including its assets in Canada, as collateral for U.S. loans to keep its American operations alive. That may mean that this government's loans to GM Canada are going to be unsecured and Canadian taxpayers are going to be on the hook.
The government was not at the table. It did not stand up for taxpayers. It did not stand up for Canadian workers. Why not?
