No problem. Thank you.
I appreciate the bipartisan approach to this. As you know, Guelph has a large manufacturing sector. In fact, it accounts for 16,500 jobs in the city. I spoke with the president of the chamber of commerce this morning.
I completely agree that three meetings is better than two and that we want to have a good response, but I also think there's a lot of value in having the government provide a written response. It doesn't mean that we can't be working on this in between. In fact, I think you're hearing a commitment from the parliamentary secretary for industry, Mr. Bardeesy.
We all want to do as much as we can in the shortest period of time for the folks who are impacted by the unjustified and unfair section 232 tariffs. I want to be clear for folks that this is really affecting all of Canada and all of southwestern Ontario, and that while conversation is important, I fully agree this should supersede the other two studies, which aren't as urgent as this one. I think a government response, so that everyone can see the steps that are being taken, also adds value.
