Thank you to both of the witnesses for their opening testimony.
Mr. Volpe, your members represent 100,000 Canadian jobs. Without a question, the tariffs are the catalyst for the manufacturing sector, both auto and otherwise.
We've heard testimony on this committee from numerous people associated with the manufacturing and auto industry who cite regulatory issues, tax framework and overall competitiveness issues vis-à-vis the U.S., especially given its aggressive approach to attract business through tax reduction strategy and regulation reduction strategy.
How would you describe Canada's current competitiveness relative to the United States jurisdiction?
