I would like to know if the member supports that ideology and thinks that workers who are out of work in the auto sector should go along with the strategy to just simply wait it out.
Mr. Speaker, we heard a lot of things in the House today in this debate, and we did not actually hear too much of what the Liberals' plan is. parliamentary secretary I have a quote, since we are speaking of quotes.

No, I mean you have a very big portfolio, and I respect that.
Do you accept and agree with it? If the report is the report—
