Madam Speaker, I want to thank my colleague for his excellent question.
Canada and Quebec produce excellent aluminum. I am fortunate to represent a riding that runs along the Quebec border. I always say that the sun rises east of Ontario.
If we ban aluminum from China or elsewhere, is my colleague prepared to say that we should ban other exports to China?
What the Bloc Québécois members are forgetting to say in their patriotic speeches is that if we ban other exports and imports to and from China, we will have to tell other manufacturers that we decided to favour a given sector and they will have to pay the price.
We protected 70% of aluminum production in Quebec and Canada.
