Mr. Speaker, that is why the Prime Minister is not at the first ministers meeting? That makes no sense.
In October, I wrote to the Minister of Industry urging him to seek commitments to protect Canadian jobs, but instead he signed off on a deal to fire 20% of the workers at Tim Hortons headquarters. This week, 350 employees lost their jobs, and the minister has the gall to claim somehow it is good news for Canada. He even makes up job numbers.
Why does the minister repeatedly fail to protect Canadian jobs?
