Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to extend my greetings to our four witnesses. I thank them for being here and for their help in responding to this critical situation.
Mr. Lavigne and Mr. Rioux, thank you for your presentation.
Mr. Rioux, you painted a very clear picture of the impact that the April 2 proclamation, which came into effect on April 6, is having on the entire ecosystem of businesses in Quebec's metal processing sector, particularly its small and medium-sized businesses. That is very worrisome.
My first question is for you, Mr. Lavigne. Do you have good contacts at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce? I'm sure everyone will recall that, in 2018, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce took legal action against the U.S. administration regarding the illegal steel and aluminum tariffs under section 232. That case was dropped after CUSMA was signed.
Do you think that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce might reinitiate legal action, for example, against the most recent proclamation, which, as Mr. Rioux said, seems to go completely against CUSMA?
