I want to thank the honourable member. It's very good to see you. It's too bad I'm not able to see you and everyone in person, but I hope that will come soon enough.
As I said in my opening remarks, “buy American” refers to an act that the American administration enacted, and because Canada is a party to the WTO's GPA—the government procurement provisions—we are exempt from “buy American”.
“Buy America” may apply to greater American content, and it is here that I have, for sure, heard from Canadian and American businesses and workers on both sides of the border, because they understand the value of open procurement markets. In fact, any restrictions on that will actually have a negative impact.
Our supply chains are so integrated and we work so closely together. In fact, we build together and we innovate together. I just want to assure the committee that if there is any expansion into greater content requirements, we are going to actively work on that to defend and to ensure that there is no impact on our critical supply chains and Canadian businesses and Canadian workers.
