Mr. Speaker, we expect support for Alberta, not Alabama.
Yesterday, Bombardier announced that the French company Airbus would receive a majority stake in the Bombardier C Series aircraft. Now Airbus cannot really lose here, and Bombardier cannot really lose either. After all, they are riding high on millions of Canadian taxpayers' dollars. Do we know who stands to lose? It is Canadian taxpayers.
Can the minister guarantee Canadian taxpayers will be fully repaid by Bombardier before this transaction is approved?
