It's a complicated question, MP Bardeesy.
I've taken it upon myself to call every one of my clients, every month since the tariffs started, to make sure that we're staying in contact, not only to discuss what's being said on that side of the border but also to understand what's really being said behind closed doors. Our clients want to do business with Canada. It's been increasingly difficult to do business in this uncertain environment. The uncertainty is as bad as the tariffs. Now, the uncertainty has been backed up by tariffs that make it unfeasible to do business with Canada.
We see that even the CEOs and presidents of these corporations in the United States are drinking the Kool-Aid, while admitting that the Kool-Aid is poison, if that makes sense. They have no choice.
They're actually doing something far worse. They're not even putting that work in the United States. That work is not going to Canada, and it's not going to the United States. I've given six reasons for that, and you can see those in my brief. Most of it is going to Mexico. Once it's sourced in Mexico, it's not coming back to the United States and it's not coming back to Canada.
