Moving on to another topic, I was contacted by a constituent of mine who works in the metal casting industry. He manufactures automobile parts and is greatly affected by the increase in the value of our dollar. How has the rise in the dollar affected your market, particularly with respect to subcontractors? What impact is this currently having? Are foreign competitors capturing a share of the market? As subcontractors, are Quebec and Canadian suppliers holding on to their share of the market, or, because of the surging dollar or for some other reason, are they struggling? Is my question clear?
