Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I appreciate the opportunity to meet with the ministers and hear back from them. Contrary to what we've seen so far, I'll give them an opportunity to respond.
My first question will be for Minister Boissonnault.
Minister, I think lots of us have been very disappointed in recent weeks by attacks from the Conservatives on the transformational investments that we're making in EV battery production, specifically, most recently, with respect to the plant in Windsor. Can you talk about how important this work is and how important the role of foreign workers is to get battery production started, so that we can go forward and create long-term, permanent jobs in Windsor?
