Mr. Speaker, I am honoured to stand in the House on behalf of the people of Windsor—Tecumseh—Lakeshore.
Windsor workers are rightly worried. They are worried about threats from the United States toward their jobs. They are worried about their shifts being cut. They are worried about paying their mortgage and putting food on the table. In Windsor, we can literally see the car manufacturers and industries across the river in Detroit, Michigan. American workers at these plants do not need to worry about a costly, job-killing carbon tax. They know that their jobs are more secure without an industrial carbon tax. That is not the case on this side of the border. The Liberal government is making our industry and our manufacturers less competitive by keeping in place the costly industrial carbon tax.
We need to work together and do everything we can to protect our jobs. By keeping the industrial carbon tax on steel, aluminum and other manufacturing, the government is forcing our workers to fight with one elbow tied behind their back. Will the government unshackle our workers and cancel the whole carbon tax on everything for everyone?
