Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I have one small point to add, which is similar to my colleague's.
I'm less worried about the 47,000 EVs that might be coming into Canada in the first year. I'm much more concerned about what else is being proposed by way of bringing in Chinese production to Canada, as well as China's role in the battery supply chain and even electrification more generally. I think this is part of a conversation that needs to go beyond that preliminary and provisional agreement.
There's been a lot of attention on 47,000 EVs versus canola. To me, that's just one small issue relative to what else is now potentially on the table: the attention that we need to pay to how our economic policies vis-à-vis China will fit into our overall industrial strategy and policies, what kind of economy Canada wants to have 10 or 15 years down the road and whether we want to have a manufacturing sector altogether.
Thank you.
