Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Minister Joly and Mr. Vincent, welcome, and thank you very much for being here.
I want to ask a couple of quick questions about today's announcement and then move to a broader approach on the auto strategy.
MP Borrelli said that there was a feeling around the table that the only thing that would help mould-makers or others was a trade deal. The Associated Press reported on Friday that President Trump said he's going to increase the tariffs charged on cars and trucks from the EU, despite having a trade deal with them. Does anyone have a safe trade deal? Why is Canada so insistent about getting a good deal, rather than any deal, to ultimately help our auto sector, all of our manufacturers and every Canadian business?
