Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Volpe, all the blockades took a great toll on the economy. I found your remarks particularly compelling. You said the blockades impacted even factories in the U.S. The consequences were awful.
A while ago, one of my fellow committee members said that the government had acted very quickly. What I saw, however, was a government that waited three weeks before doing anything, letting the situation deteriorate, so I disagree with her.
Do you think the government should have acted sooner, instead of waiting three weeks?
