Mr. Chair, I would like to thank my colleague, the parliamentary secretary to the Minister of Industry, for his remarks. I particularly appreciated his sensitivity toward workers affected by a conflict that seems to have been created entirely by the government. The government could have resolved this conflict with the United States with a snap of its fingers. Furthermore, for the past 10 years, the Liberals have directed virtually all investment in the Canadian economy towards oil and Ontario's automotive industry.
Now we find ourselves in a crisis that continues to drag on. Is my colleague embarrassed by his Prime Minister's lack of action to resolve this crisis and address the impact it is having on workers?
