Mr. Speaker, our thoughts are with the workers and their families in Oshawa during this very difficult time.
However, the member has it all wrong. This support is about creating new jobs and export opportunities within Canada. This is an interest-bearing loan, not a grant or subsidy. In fact, this loan will actually open the door for Canadian manufacturers to export their products to global companies.
Sadly, the opposition parties want to raise taxes. They want to abandon manufacturing. That is something this government will not do.
