Mr. Vander Park and all of the witnesses today, we came to this meeting with the full intention of a non-partisan conversation because I think all of government is seized with what you're facing. You said that you negotiate in good faith with your customers. I think Canada also negotiates in good faith with its American counterparts. That partner is not acting in good faith.
Mr. Jebely, you said that at the stroke of a pen, it's all changed. We all know whose pen that is, so I would invite us to collaborate to find solutions for you and your workers.
I represent the riding of Guelph, where advanced manufacturing is 16,500 jobs, so I'm totally with you. De tout cœur is what we say in French. We all want the stability. We need a deal that will be a good deal and a deal that is respected by our American counterparts. We all want the same thing.
I'm curious to know, are you working with FedDev and looking at large liquidity loans, the strategic investment fund and the regional tariff relief initiative? They're all things that were brought in a year ago and have been entrenched in budget 2025. Are any of those tools useful?
If so, great. If not, what other tools would you need immediately? We'll go to bat for you. What would you need in the medium term?
