Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you very much to the witnesses. It's good to see you again, Mr. Verheul.
I've been talking an awful lot about the border issue, but I'm going to switch gears here a little bit because one of the last things you said, sir, was with regard to the supply chain and how integrated our borders are. I'll be bold here and say that nobody understands that more than me, because the Windsor Chrysler assembly plant has now been shut down for a month. I've got thousands of workers sitting at home twiddling their thumbs because we can't get sensors to put on our vehicles. I very much understand when you speak specifically about the integration of Canada and the U.S.—I'm right there with you.
Even more than that, I would even say this. Today is April Fools' Day, and unfortunately it's not an April Fools' joke that the carbon tax has been increased again. I would suggest that our businesses are once again less competitive with both the U.S. and Mexico.
Sir, we keep hearing about integrated markets and integrated supply chains. Is the government tracking the number of jobs and the value of the GDP we're losing because of the government's inability to negotiate essential workers being able to safely cross the border?
