Thank you, Chair, and thank you, gentlemen, for appearing here today.
Thank you, Mr. Finch. I forgot to recognize you in my comments, and I've missed a few other people, but I'll stop there and just leave it at that. Excuse me.
I have a question for Mr. Finch and Mr. Brazeau first, though.
When I went around the country, what I found was that in the aftermarket shops you found ambulances, police cars, school buses, and other vehicles that were outside the bailiwick of the major manufacturers but are very important to society. They are also very important for those facilities to repair. But they also relied upon other vehicle repairs from the mainstream auto manufacturing sector. What I became concerned about was that some were on the brink.
Are you comfortable with this agreement right now, that there is enough of the problem solved that it won't be an impediment to business, and those shops that we have our municipal fleets and so forth in getting fixed will be able to survive?
That is one of the things that doesn't get a lot of attention, but you really notice it as you tour the aftermarket. I couldn't go to a place without finding some type of service vehicle for the public sector.
