Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you, Minister, for appearing before us.
As you know, my riding has the pleasure of having the Navistar plant. There has been much talk about the feasibility of building the trucks that the military has contracted out, and building that truck here in Canada. I don't know if I want to get into that. You also know that I'm taking a fact-finding mission to Chicago, to the world headquarters, next week, Monday.
I want to ask you about the area that really is your responsibility, the industrial regional benefits. Could you possibly enlighten this committee on what those IRBs would be and what it would mean for Canada?
