Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Ministers, both of you, in your answers and in your opening remarks, explained that what made this bill necessary and justifiable was the tariff crisis and your desire to make the Canadian economy less dependent on the United States. I'm not putting words in your mouth; that's what you said.
When I look at this more closely, I see very clearly that Bill C‑39 can help the oil and gas sector. However, I'm less clear on how Bill C‑39 can help the sectors most affected by the tariff dispute. I don't see how this bill can help the forestry sector, I don't see how it can help aluminum processors, I don't see how it can help people in the automotive industry, and I don't see how it can help people in the steel sector.
Furthermore, when I see the disproportionate benefit this gives to people in the oil and gas sector, what immediately comes to mind is that 91% of our oil exports go to the United States and that it's a product not subject to tariffs. You're putting in place a legislative measure that will help the Americans with their energy sovereignty, because they are the main beneficiaries of the big oil companies.
Earlier, you challenged my friend Mr. Ste‑Marie. I challenge you to explain to me—if you have any analysis, maybe you can table it with the committee—how this legislative measure helps the forestry sector, the aluminum sector, the auto sector and the manufacturing sector.
