It is because of a number of successive trade deals that have taken place that have cost Canadian manufacturing, and we have not addressed many of the significant issues. It is unfortunate because, as we were seeing the record tax cuts happening, we were witnessing hundreds of thousands of Canadian jobs being lost across Ontario and Quebec, whether it be in the forestry sector, the auto industry or the textile industry.
C'est lamentable parce qu'en même temps qu'on octroyait à certains des allégements fiscaux records, nous voyions disparaître des centaines de milliers d'emplois canadiens en Ontario et au Québec, que ce soit dans le secteur forestier, l'industrie automobile ou l'industrie textile.
