Madam Speaker, the Government of Canada is supporting Stellantis. The Government of Canada is supporting Volkswagen and the battery plant. Think about that. This is going to be one of the largest manufacturing plants in North America. We are talking about the creation of tens of thousands of direct and indirect jobs. We know that the MAGA Conservatives across the way do not support government investment in industries, and this is a very important industry for all Canadians. It is going to provide good, solid middle-class jobs. My question for the Conservative Party is this: When are the Conservatives going to get behind Canadians and support good, solid middle-class jobs? Some hon. members: Oh, oh!

Madam Speaker, before I start, I just want to wish you and all my colleagues a very merry Christmas. As he knows, I am from Oshawa. An extremely important thing in the automotive industry is supply chains. Some of these parts move across the border, quite often by rail, in federally regulated industries. As he said, the NDP put this bill forward. Has the NDP ever done any analysis on how this bill would affect supply chains, the investment climate in Canada, and our competitiveness versus our partners in CUSMA, the United States and Mexico? Could he alleviate some concerns on that?
