Thank you for coming to committee, Minister Joly.
You mentioned families and workers and the supports that we need to give them in order for our automotive industry to be successful in the future. This morning, you talked about loans and programs that would help people and businesses impacted by the 232 tariffs.
In the last two weeks here at committee, we've had many witnesses from my area of Windsor—Tecumseh—Lakeshore, others from across Ontario and some from Quebec who talked about the problems they're having with these tariffs and the impacts on their companies. Their testimony made it very clear that the only thing that could help them would be a good tariff deal with the U.S.
I have many quotes here, if you'd like to hear them. Many of them testified that loans wouldn't help them. The tariffs make them totally unprofitable. If they took the loans, they would just be delaying the problem, because they wouldn't be able to pay them back.
Can you see in the future any other supports you can give them?
