Mr. Speaker, that is a good question, but we are not getting many answers from the government, which is not acting very transparently.
The government likes to brag about job creation figures. However, there are two that it will not mention in this afternoon's debate: the 1,500 jobs lost when two U.S. Steel plants closed when it acquired Stelco, and the 686 jobs eliminated by Xstra when it took over Falconbridge.
The Conservative government has to act much more transparently. Canadians are siding with the NDP.
