Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Good afternoon to the three witnesses. Again, we're learning a lot from your remarks.
Mr. Hicks, I won't ask you any questions, since your colleagues were here earlier this week and the connection is poor right now. That said, I want to point out that the entire committee is very sensitive to the struggles your particular sector is experiencing. We'll continue to talk about it and make sure you're supported.
My first question is for Mr. Moffatt.
You pointed out something that I think is very important. Your industry is not directly affected by the tariffs because it is tariff-free, yet it is so integrated with a sector that is being hit by the tariffs that you bear the brunt.
Are the criteria for the support measures put in place by the government for industries that are struggling designed to support your industry, which is suffering indirectly as a result of the tariffs?
