That is a very good question. I would say it's multifactorial. It's not just one thing.
Canada does have a lot of advantages in manufacturing, and—I hear it all the time from members—a very highly skilled and productive workforce, so that's one of our main advantages. We also have a relatively clean energy system, which is another advantage, but the challenges the sector faces are pretty numerous, especially when it comes to Canada against the U.S. We're always comparing ourselves to our southern neighbours.
