The Government of Canada has made very clear and the Prime Minister has spoken regularly about the need for Canada to diversify. Obviously, diversifying also means changing our reliance, unnecessarily, on the United States of America, but diversifying does not mean abandoning our relationship with the United States of America. It is too big of an advantage to us. It is too important to us. We are next to the strongest market that has ever been built in human history. Other countries wish they were next door to the United States. As I said earlier, we also benefit, absent the section 232 tariffs, from very close to free trade with the United States.
Diversification means, yes, lowering our dependence on the United States in trade, defence and other areas, but it does not mean abandoning that very important and valuable relationship. It actually means growing it to our economic benefit, as we've seen in defence. It may mean growing our other relationships even faster, and therefore becoming diversified, but it's not a trade-off, in my view.
