Hampton on Buy American

Premier Dalton McGuinty is defending the new deal on Buy American provisions in Washington's stimulus package from unions who say the deal is unfair to Ontario.

N-D-P trade critic Howard Hampton says Canada may be getting access to U.S.stimulus projects, but most of that money has already been spent.

Unions say the trade agreement will eventually give foreign companies permanent and unfettered access to contracts that supply Ontario's schools and hospitals.
