Thank you, Chair.
Thank you to colleagues.
I'm obviously not a full member of this committee, but this subject is of critical importance.
Ms. Borrelli spoke from the vantage point of a Windsor MP. I'm here as a London MP and, with that in mind, obviously I'd like to begin with Mr. Bates.
Mr. Bates, thank you very much for appearing today. This testimony that you're giving is critical. Thank you also for the work that you're doing on behalf of Londoners at this very important time, to say the least.
You mentioned Great Lakes Copper. I was there just recently, in fact, but I can understand, and we all know the devastating impact that the recent changes under 232 have had and will have for businesses like that, along with Arctic as well. It's very well known in London. I think it's been there since the 1960s.
Mr. Bates, my first question for you is this. How many businesses does the council represent that are impacted by this recent change?
