Mr. Speaker, I do not share that vision. I find it amusing that two of my colleagues opposite mentioned Gildan.
Gildan does not export pork or potatoes. It exports jobs. Gildan was one of the only profitable textile factories in Montreal that was still successful. Now, it is going to become a mere distribution centre with everything being made in countries such as Honduras.
I doubt that the astronomical salaries those companies pay in Honduras are more than a couple of dollars a day because that is the international standard.
I have a feeling that there is still a chance that we will lose and export jobs. International aid, now disguised as something else, will serve to repair the damage caused by mining companies.
In any case, I am wondering if the member thinks it is profitable to export jobs to Honduras.
