        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"6003924\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I would have to say that the concern that auto workers have and the concern that the auto industry has is that the 2.5% tariff rate on auto and auto parts is not prohibitive enough for companies to actually want to reach this level.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6003925\" data-originallang=\"en\">We have watched 400,000 manufacturing jobs bleed out of our country. We cannot attract investment into auto because we are competing on such an unfair playing field. The things that have been established here are easy enough for companies to get over and to pay the 2.5%.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6003926\" data-originallang=\"en\">What the member is really asking is for southwestern Ontario auto workers and manufacturing workers across our country to take a chance that what has been established here will work in practice. It is a best guess whether or not the provisions here will actually end up being meaningful, and I have to say that these provisions are not even fully fleshed out yet. We do not even have the details of exactly what they will look at.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6003927\" data-originallang=\"en\">That is also a piece that is very concerning, because there are ministerial powers that have been written into the new CUSMA. The Liberals would like to say, \u201cDo not worry; if something happens, the minister of the day will be able to override it, or cabinet will be able to override it.\u201d Why should we trust that they are going to go and put these provisions in after the fact? If the deal is so good\u2014</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"6003924\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je dirais que les travailleurs de l'automobile et l'industrie automobile craignent que les droits de douane de 2,5 % sur les automobiles et leurs pi\u00e8ces ne soient pas suffisamment prohibitifs pour avoir l'effet d\u00e9sir\u00e9 sur les entreprises.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6003925\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous avons vu 400 000 emplois dans le secteur manufacturier quitter le pays. Nous ne pouvons pas attirer des investissements dans l'industrie automobile parce que nous sommes si d\u00e9savantag\u00e9s. Il n'est pas trop difficile pour les entreprises de s'affranchir des r\u00e8gles qui ont \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9tablies ici et de payer les droits de 2,5 % que nous leur imposons.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6003926\" data-originallang=\"en\">En fait, le d\u00e9put\u00e9 demande aux travailleurs des secteurs automobile et manufacturier du Sud-Ouest de l'Ontario d'esp\u00e9rer que ce que nous avons \u00e9tabli fonctionnera dans la pratique. Or, nous ne pouvons que supposer que les dispositions seront utiles, et je pr\u00e9cise que ces dispositions ne sont m\u00eame pas encore tout \u00e0 fait au point. Nous ne savons m\u00eame pas exactement sur quoi elles porteront.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6003927\" data-originallang=\"en\">C'est une autre grande source de pr\u00e9occupation parce que des pouvoirs minist\u00e9riels ont \u00e9t\u00e9 pr\u00e9vus dans l'Accord Canada\u2014\u00c9tats-Unis\u2014Mexique. Les lib\u00e9raux aimeraient nous convaincre que nous n'avons rien \u00e0 craindre. Ils voudraient nous faire croire que si une situation f\u00e2cheuse se produit, le ministre en poste ou le Cabinet sera en mesure d'y rem\u00e9dier. Pourquoi devrions-nous croire que les lib\u00e9raux vont ins\u00e9rer ces dispositions apr\u00e8s la ratification de l'accord? Si l'accord est si bon..</p>"
