Mr. Speaker, if there is something that the Liberals and the Conservatives have in common, it is the lack of transparency when they bail out major corporations.
The announced closure of GM's Oshawa plant is a tragedy for the 2,500 workers and their families. It is also a tragedy for the community.
What is frustrating is that GM is not showing any gratitude for the country that pulled it back from the brink of bankruptcy. In fact, the Conservatives lent GM over $7 billion in 2009.
GM still owes Export Development Canada $1 billion on a loan it took out in 2009.
If the Liberals have no plan to save these jobs, will they at least ask that the money be repaid?
