Mr. Speaker, $15 billion is $1,000 per household, and there is no guarantee for Canadian jobs. Not only are 900 jobs going to taxpayer-funded foreign workers, but the union today said it would cost Canadian contractors $300 million in lost wages. This is not Deal or No Deal. This is a terrible deal for workers who were promised jobs in Windsor. When will the minister responsible for costing the union $300 million and Canadian families $1,000 per household release the contract that Canadians have paid for?

Mr. Speaker, the only things the Liberals are protecting are taxpayer-funded foreign jobs. Here is what could have happened. The Liberals could have ensured that we mine the material for batteries in Canadian mines with Canadian workers. We are not. We could have ensured that the parts for the cars were made by Canadian workers in Canadian factories. We are not. These could have been 100% Canadian jobs. They are not. Instead, Canadians are paying $1,000 a household so Canadian contractors can lose $300 million and get ripped off. Why will the Liberals not release the contract? Is it because it should have been ripped up?
