Thank you.
Correct me if you don't share my point of view. There's uncertainty around our relations with our neighbour the United States and around U.S. tariffs, which are becoming increasingly unpredictable. A revised structure for calculating tariffs on goods containing steel and aluminum came into effect on 6 April.
I have the following impression, and I'd like to hear your perspective: Until recently, most Canadian businesses, with the exception of the auto sector, appeared to have navigated this situation successfully, but now, the risks are much higher. Uncertainty and our unpredictable neighbour in particular mean that there's actually a very significant risk that businesses will be forced to shut down. Indeed, several large furniture businesses in Quebec recently ceased operations.
Would you say that the risks of the trade war getting worse are significantly higher now than a few months ago?
