Thank you very much, Chair.
Thank you, Minister, for being here.
Canadians are coming to me saying that they're quite concerned that perhaps we're not taking this shift in the American position seriously enough. It looks like the Americans have been very clear on the direction they're taking. President Biden signed the executive order, right when he came in, around buy America. The road map that was just outlined focused on modernizing trade rules, including those related to procurement, to ensure that countries could use their own taxpayer dollars to spur domestic investment.
All the signalling is around domestic manufacturing capability in the U.S. and self-sufficiency, starting with these large infrastructure projects. Now we hear that an additional $2.3 trillion will be spent on infrastructure, going way beyond roads and bridges to investments in manufacturing and the expansion of broadband.
Can you give us a comprehensive list of all of the infrastructure elements that Canada cannot bid on as a result of this executive buy America order?
