Good morning, everybody.
Welcome to the Standing Committee on Industry and Technology.
We are continuing the conversation we began last meeting in an emergency capacity in relation to the impact that changes to section 232 tariffs are having on domestic industries here in our country.
This is a reminder to witnesses in the room that if you're using your earpiece and it's plugged in but not on your ear, please ensure that you place it on the sticker in front of you to protect the health and well-being of our interpreters.
I can confirm that the sound tests have been successfully completed.
We have three witnesses joining us for the first hour here, colleagues.
From the Canadian Institute of Steel Construction, we have Keanin Loomis, who is joining us by video conference. From the Windsor Essex Chamber of Commerce, Ryan Donally is here as the chief executive officer. He's in the room here today. From the Saskatchewan Industrial and Mining Suppliers Association, we have Eric Anderson, who is the executive director.
Because I chair the government's prairie and north caucus, it would be probably inappropriate of me to not provide the floor to a fellow prairie colleague, so I'm going to give Mr. Anderson the opportunity to begin here, as a proud Saskatchewanian.
We look forward to hearing your testimony, sir. You'll have up to five minutes, at which point I'll then pass the floor to Mr. Loomis, followed by Mr. Donally.
The floor is yours, Mr. Anderson.
