Absolutely.
I think that everyone here will have experienced the strong team Canada approach that we have taken for the last five years. Today is no different. I think that we need to continue this very strong approach around team Canada, working with interlocutors with the USTR, but also with other legislators in the U.S.
Our ambassador is working hard at this, as are my cabinet colleagues. I would invite all of you to also work together with us so that we can advocate with this strong team Canada approach, engaging U.S. stakeholders, decision-makers at all levels of government, the workers and civil society.
We'll demonstrate our value. The integration of how close we are and how close our economies are, these are the stories that I am able to share. This is the case that I get to make and that we all get to make to our interlocutors in the U.S. but also to Canadian businesses and American businesses that operate in Canada.
We want to be sure that we are keeping these integrated supply chains and these relationships open in such a way, because it is not only beneficial to Canada—of course it is—but it also serves as a benefit to American workers and American businesses as well.
We are both committed, both countries, to building back better, to this road map between Canada and the U.S., and we have ambitions to also tackle climate change together. There's a lot of great Canadian input into the American infrastructure industry.
These are the opportunities, and I would encourage a strong, continued, team Canada approach in this advocacy.
