This industry is shaped and moulded across this country and it has been contributed to by a lot of incentives from taxpayers. It is also one that is part of the value-added chain of manufacturing which many of the things we do in this chamber, in committees, and so forth try to esteem to. We try to work toward value-added jobs.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4280545\" data-originallang=\"en\">I remember being on a committee where the Conservatives refused to allow a motion to go forward because of the term \u201cvalue-added\u201d. Now they have been replaced by a government that not only does not like the term \u201cvalue-added\u201d, but is working against that proactively. That is the truth of the matter. This is not just about Winnipeg, Toronto, and the region just outside of Montreal, Quebec, in particular.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4280546\" data-originallang=\"en\"> There are many colleges and universities right now that have worked at transitioning. Look at the auto industry. Diversification has included the mould-making and tool and die organizations in recovery, apart from our aerospace industry. They are value-added jobs where people can go to school, get an education, and at least have a hope of paying for their education. That is a simple Canadian dream that is slipping through our fingers every single day, and the Liberals are complicit in the effort to ensure that the working class diminishes in this country.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4280547\" data-originallang=\"en\">Why is it so vivid and so offensive with regard to this? This legislation that we are dealing with just had closure put on it. I remember when the Liberals sat on this side and they complained and grumbled about closure, but then they got over there to that side and it did not take long. It was really swift. This is about an issue that is so important for workers and their families and for young people who want to live the Canadian dream. That dream is to be able to go to school, get an education, and find a place of employment so they can\u2014</p>",

Cette industrie s'est forg\u00e9e et s'est model\u00e9e d'un bout \u00e0 l'autre du pays et elle a profit\u00e9 de nombreuses mesures incitatives financ\u00e9es par les contribuables. Elle fait \u00e9galement partie de la cha\u00eene de production \u00e0 valeur ajout\u00e9e, un aspect que nous tentons de valoriser, que ce soit \u00e0 la Chambre, au sein des comit\u00e9s ou dans d'autres contextes. Nous visons la cr\u00e9ation d'emplois \u00e0 valeur ajout\u00e9e.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4280545\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je me souviens que je si\u00e9geais \u00e0 un comit\u00e9 lorsque les conservateurs ont refus\u00e9 d'adopter une motion parce qu'elle contenait le terme \u00ab valeur ajout\u00e9e \u00bb. Maintenant, ils ont \u00e9t\u00e9 remplac\u00e9s par un gouvernement qui, en plus de ne pas aimer le terme \u00ab valeur ajout\u00e9e \u00bb, s'oppose \u00e0 ce concept de fa\u00e7on proactive. C'est la r\u00e9alit\u00e9. Il n'est pas seulement question de Winnipeg, de Toronto ou de la p\u00e9riph\u00e9rie de Montr\u00e9al, au Qu\u00e9bec, en particulier.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4280546\" data-originallang=\"en\">De nombreux coll\u00e8ges et universit\u00e9s ont entrepris d'adapter leurs activit\u00e9s. On peut penser \u00e0 l'industrie de l'automobile. La diversification touche notamment des organismes en situation de redressement sp\u00e9cialis\u00e9s dans la fabrication d'outils, de matrices et de moules, ind\u00e9pendamment de l'industrie a\u00e9rospatiale. Il s'agit d'emplois \u00e0 valeur ajout\u00e9e, pour lesquels les gens peuvent \u00e9tudier, obtenir une formation et esp\u00e9rer recevoir un salaire qui couvrira le co\u00fbt de leurs \u00e9tudes. Ce r\u00eave canadien, un r\u00eave tout simple, nous file entre les doigts un peu plus chaque jour. Les lib\u00e9raux contribuent \u00e0 la r\u00e9duction de la classe moyenne au Canada.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4280547\" data-originallang=\"en\">Qu'y a-t-il de si frappant, de si r\u00e9voltant dans la situation actuelle? Le gouvernement vient d'imposer la cl\u00f4ture \u00e0 l'\u00e9gard du projet de loi \u00e0 l'\u00e9tude. Je me souviens de l'\u00e9poque o\u00f9 les lib\u00e9raux, assis de ce c\u00f4t\u00e9-ci de la Chambre, d\u00e9non\u00e7aient en grommelant le recours \u00e0 la cl\u00f4ture. Mais une fois au pouvoir, ils ont vite fait d'adopter la m\u00eame tactique, rapido presto. Nous discutons d'un enjeu crucial pour les travailleurs, pour leur famille, pour les jeunes qui veulent profiter du r\u00eave canadien. Ils r\u00eavent de pouvoir \u00e9tudier, obtenir une formation et trouver un emploi qui leur permettra de...</p>"
