Prime Minister Mr. Speaker, the regions of Quebec have run out of patience. The Liberal government's inaction is costing them dearly. That is not according to me; it is according to mayors, business people and organizations in the Chaudière-Appalaches region who are here in Ottawa to sound the alarm.

Could there be a threat to Canadian jobs if our production were to drop because of increased exports?

Thank you very much. Earlier, I asked Mr. Kovrig a question, and I’m going to ask you the same question. We are importing 50,000 Chinese cars. We are concerned about cybersecurity. Let’s be honest. When we look at China’s friends, such as Iran and Russia, we see that they are not necessarily our best friends. Aren’t you concerned that the arrival of these cars will create a significant [more]
