Mr. Speaker, last year, our government secured the largest advanced manufacturing export contract in Canadian history. The multi-billion dollar contract for GDLS Canada will create and sustain thousands of jobs in London and across Canada.
Shamefully, the NDP member for London—Fanshawe has remained silent, while her Liberal colleague from Westmount—Ville-Marie attacked our government's support of these high paying union jobs.
What is worse is that the Liberal leader was actually in London when he said that Ontario should transition away from manufacturing-based jobs.
Our Conservative government will not turn its back on the thousands of workers who depend on manufacturing to put food on the table for the their families.
While we remain focused on creating jobs, the Liberals and the NDP are pushing a high-tax, high-debt agenda that would threaten jobs and set working families back.
