Thank you, Madam Chair, and thanks to our guests for being here.
Quickly, this is for Mr. Azzopardi and Mr. Cassidy.
There have been a lot of auto investments in the last 20 years, just not in Canada. Detroit is up to $16 billion with the recent investments in the last five years. In Ontario it was $6 billion for the last five years. I just want to give a chance for you to highlight some things.
I know, Mr. Azzopardi, you mentioned a couple of things, but what more can be done? I'm fearful that the impression is that if we just sign this agreement, there will be labour and environmental improvements that will allow our workers to compete more fairly than before. However, if we just leave that for this agreement, I'm concerned about our future. Perhaps you could outline a couple of things that we might need to do.
Speaking of reciprocity, Mr. Cassidy, you might want to raise the issue with regard to Michigan and the United States' single-events sports betting whereby thousands of jobs are at risk as well, because we won't have reciprocity with the products that they have over there.
Mr. Azzopardi, could you answer first, please?
