Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for being here today. I would like to ask each of you a question, but that's not going to be possible, because the chair is only giving me five minutes.
I will start off with the Retail Council of Canada. You spoke at length about de minimis. Recently the United States raised their de minimis.

Every increase from $20 to $40, from $40 to $60, would have negative effects on the Canadian economy—job losses, the closures of book stores and small businesses....
What happened in the United States when they raised the de minimis?
