Mr. Chair, I concur, of course, with the member's analysis. However, I would like to digress and go in another direction.
We have a lot of people who are having to rely on their retirement incomes because they are losing their jobs.
The government is failing in its watch in a number of areas that are seriously affecting people's retirement income, and that includes the matter of foreign investment.
When corporations come to this country from another nation and sign on to so-called agreements that the government puts forward, either the terms are not strict enough or the government is not bothering to watchdog those agreements. A lot of Canadians are losing their jobs and this is part of the crisis.
We need much broader action by the government to protect the income of Canadians, protect the jobs of Canadians and protect their future retirement earnings.
