Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the member for his very good speech. I wonder if he could talk a little more about the impact on workers. I know he alluded to it.
I also want to acknowledge the member for Elmwood—Transcona pointing out the other foreign takeovers that the NDP has not stood in the way of.
I know that a foreign takeover has had a serious impact on the member for Nickel Belt and his community. It is not just that the resources and profits go somewhere else, but there is an absolute impact on the workers and businesses in their communities because the workers no longer have well-paying jobs. I wonder if the member could talk a little more about the personal impact that he has seen in his community as a result of this.
