Thank you, colleague.
Thank you, Ambassador, for being with us tonight.
I want to take the opportunity to clarify a couple of things on the record since Canadians are listening to us. Of course, as you mentioned earlier, Canada does have an exemption from buy American under WTO treaties.
Buy America, which has been the subject of some discussion tonight and which will be the subject of our next debate, is an issue. I would like to clarify, because my colleague, I think, raised an infrastructure bill that doesn't exist yet. I would just like to point out that there is discussion of an infrastructure bill in the United States but there is nothing yet on the table.
Second, from where I sit as parliamentary secretary to the Minister of International Trade, working with Minister Ng, I can say that we certainly have not taken our foot off the gas. We continue to press our counterparts on this issue, and I imagine it's the same for you.
Ambassador, can you please let us know if your foot is still very much on the gas on this issue?
