Mr. Speaker, we noticed he did not say “Canadian” workers. On top of that, the Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry said that he is going to hold a meeting with the company to find out from the company what its plans are for the contract he negotiated and signed. I cannot make this stuff up. He has to ask the company what is in the contract he negotiated. A $15-billion subsidy is going to cost every Canadian family $1,000 in taxes and leave Canadian union workers in the cold. If they have nothing to hide, will the Liberals come clean and release the contract?

Mr. Speaker, the NDP-Liberals are desperately trying to claim that they had no choice but to allow 1,600, taxpayer-funded foreign replacement workers come to Canada to work at the new battery plant in Windsor. The $15-billion taxpayer subsidy means that each family in Canada is paying $1,000 to subsidize these foreign replacement workers. After eight years, the Prime Minister is not worth the cost. Will the Prime Minister release the contract to prove taxpayer-funded foreign replacement workers are banned?

Mr. Speaker, perhaps the member should listen to his Minister of Finance who, on Wednesday, said that competing with the subsidies of the Biden inflation act is a “race to the bottom”. Liberals surely would not give away $14 billion in taxpayer money without a contract on the exact commitments of jobs in the plant. I will ask again: How many jobs in the plant will this $14-billion subsidy buy?

Mr. Speaker, last year, Volkswagen had the same revenue as the Government of Canada, at $413 billion. Now the Liberals are providing a $14-billion subsidy from taxpayers. My question is simple. How many jobs in the plant does $14 billion buy for this auto company, which was convicted of environmental law crimes in Canada?
