Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you for everyone's presentation today. They're all quite insightful—not that one of them would ever not be insightful, but they are actually quite insightful. Thank you.
I'm going to make some comments to two or three of you, because I don't have enough time to ask questions to everyone.
Mr. Johnson, I would like to follow up with you on your presentation and recommendations on the charitable programs and the differences between the budgets in the days ahead.
Let me start with Mark over at the Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers' Association. I have the background, having covered the sector for many years. I am rather concerned that vehicle sales may start levelling off in the years ahead and may taper off in the months ahead. I want to see how we are positioned vis-à-vis our jurisdictions especially in the rust belt states—but really, they've rejuvenated themselves—versus down in the southern United States. Could you comment on that?
