Thank you, Mr. Chair.
We would also like to move a subamendment, which can be resolved among the parties once I have made some brief comments on this matter.
These issues are very important. We're learning more and more about the impacts of the tariffs imposed under section 232 of the U.S. Trade Expansion Act, as our colleagues Mr. Borrelli, Ms. Dancho and Ms. Ste‑Marie have said.
We were fortunate to have the executive director of the mould-makers association here earlier. I think we would want to have her back so we could have more of her time, as well as hear from others who are affected by this. The Canadian Institute of Steel Construction was here this week, and we heard some of their concerns on this fast-moving issue.
As we know, the government has been responsive in the past to these kinds of emergency committee deliberations, having acted quickly in response to the collective work of the committee, and we know there are already some policy tools available.
I want to support the direction of this with my colleagues on the government side. I have a subamendment that would recommend the tabling of a comprehensive government response to the report of this committee, rather than having this committee report to the House.
Perhaps, Mr. Chair, in the spirit of what you were requesting earlier, we could recess briefly.
