Besides the obvious—get us an agreement—if we're dealing in the short term right now, these companies are losing money every day, which means that banks will likely start to withdraw their support. These companies rely on lines of credit to run their businesses. They're going to have to be shored up immediately through EDC or BDC. That would be the first thing.
The second thing is this: If we're not going to get a trade agreement with the United States, we need to be able to reduce their bottom line so they can afford to absorb the 10% today. As I said before, these are single-digit profits. The 10% will now make them not profitable. You now have to convince them to stay in Canada, which can be through subsidies or ways to support their business outside of that. Right now, they are considering moving or closing.
