Currently, the consequences are not as harsh because there is a certain amount of tolerance. I think too that the federal government has managed to negotiate an exemption for its employees who have what is called a security clearance. These employees can work on some ITAR projects.
However, I think that there is a huge danger that the situation will deteriorate and this is creating significant problems for our industries. I will let my colleagues tell you what they are doing and what their companies are doing and what their U.S. headquarters are doing—when they have one. I think that this is a political problem. Before the American election, we were told that the problem could not be resolved before the new president took office along with his team.
We have had the opportunity to talk to various members of the Canadian government about this recently, and I think that negotiations need to be reactivated as quickly as possible in order to avoid the possibility that this could have an extremely negative impact on our industries.
