Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Again, Ambassador, thank you for being here.
I share my colleague's deep dissatisfaction with your sort of unwillingness to answer very direct questions on things that do not seem to be confidential in nature, including when the last formal negotiations took place on section 232 tariffs. The American ambassador has been clear on this, that it hasn't happened for at least seven months. I find your unwillingness to confirm that to committee deeply troubling. We're here to represent Canadians. I have a lot of auto workers in my riding who have lost their jobs at the Brampton assembly plant, and others who work at Honda who are deeply concerned that they may lose their jobs. I think your lack of forthrightness on this is deeply troubling.
You did say, however, that you're in possession of an economic analysis of the economic damage that is being done to the industries suffering from the section 232 tariffs. I would ask that you provide that economic analysis to the committee so that we also can understand what economic damage is happening to those affected industries. Will you provide those documents to the committee?
