Mr. Speaker, I thank the member opposite for his comment, but he can see by the skirt that I am wearing that I am not “he”. However, I will take that under advisement for the next time I get up.
I will say that our first priority here is the Canadian economy. We want to make sure that Canadians have an opportunity to be working every day.
For example, in my riding of Simcoe—Grey, right now, because of this rail stoppage, Honda is unable to ship its cars. It is unable to receive parts or actually move its product. This is having a huge impact on the local economy in my riding let alone on the economy across the country.
We know that in 2010, $5 billion worth of potash was moved by CP Rail and $11.1 billion in grain was moved. These are substantive components of our Canadian economy. We want to make sure that Canadians can work. We want to make sure that we are maintaining jobs and growing the economy.
