Merci beaucoup, monsieur Bouchard, pour votre question.
I have to apologize to my colleague, Mr. Paton, as he's been bearing the weight of the manufacturers' coalition and the issues by himself. I owe him some support here. We are a proud member of this coalition and are one of the beginners on board, as is Mr. Paton. We believe we need to speak with one voice. I came here with a proposal that's very specific to our sector, and that I thought would be of interest to this committee, to make sure we survive this economic crisis and come out in a positive way.
However, I have to say that we endorse 100% all the recommendations in the letter we've written to the Right Honourable Prime Minister, as well as the top issues that Mr. Paton has talked about. Mr. Paton has taken a forest-from-the-trees outlook on what is needed for the manufacturing community in Canada and we endorse that 100%. Those priorities are exactly in line with ours.
