Mr. Speaker, the Liberal government handed Algoma Steel $400 million and got zero Canadian jobs in return. Now 1,000 workers in Sault Ste. Marie are getting pink slips just weeks before Christmas. Worst, the Liberals knew about these layoffs, and they wrote them the cheque anyway. They looked steelworkers in the eye and promised to fight for them. The promise turned out to be a $400-million lie, and the Liberals knew it from day one.
Can anyone over there explain why corporate welfare matters more than Canadian jobs?
