Mr. Speaker, my hon. colleague has talked several times about defending workers. Many of the workers in my riding are part of the auto industry. The auto industry in Newmarket--Aurora, across the GTA, and in much of southern Ontario depends on rail service to get parts back and forth. Tens of thousands of jobs are wrapped up in that industry.
When we are in such a fragile economic time, I wonder first why the member would want to risk our fragile economy. Second, I wonder how he justifies saying that he is defending workers when the workers in my riding will be out of work when there is no rail service to transport their products. Could he comment about the fragile economy he is creating?
