Madam Chair, the member opposite does not have a monopoly on caring for an industry. One does not have to live in B.C., or any other specific province, to care about what is happening to the workers of Canada.
Shame on the member for trying to impute motive, trying to give the impression that the Prime Minister or other members do not care. This is a government that cares about what is happening, and we show that by the investments and support we are putting in.
We cannot just wave a wand and make the problem disappear. It takes time, and we are prepared to take the time and to support the industry and the workers so we can get the best deal we can. We cannot just click our heels and have the problems disappear. The Leader of the Conservative Party might believe that to be the case, but that is not reality.
