Let me start by saying that our government will always stand up for our Canadian workers and our businesses.
If there is an effort to expand or to introduce new domestic content requirements, of course we will absolutely work to ensure that this is not applied to Canada or affect Canadian supply chains. Whether it be the Prime Minister, the Deputy Prime Minister or me, through our interactions with the President, the vice-president and the USTR, we emphasize that workers in the U.S. and Canada benefit from our integrated, secure and resilient supply chain and that strengthening this trade relationship is really important to avoid any unintended consequences that may arise from any buy America policy.
However, I would say that we have a lot in common. Building back better and building back the green economy are really important. I would be remiss if I didn't talk about how green our steel production is. We are a global leader. Canadian aluminum producers have the lowest carbon footprint in the world and are innovating. Our transportation sector and the inputs into transportation or forestry, concrete and cement are all inputs that are made together between Canada and the U.S., and they go into those supply chains.
We fully will be making the case that working together, building together, will help us tackle climate change, and it will help us build back better in a way that creates jobs for the middle class in America and in Canada.
