I'm glad you brought that up, because we're seeing it as well. We've been seeing it for steel for many years. Aluminum is obviously becoming more popular, so we're seeing it more on aluminum. If this were a panel of Mexican government officials, I'd be saying exactly the same thing. Unless you start to pick up the protectionist measures that the United States is picking up, you will also be the weak link in North America. You have to be. You have no choice. Unless you want to let the erosion continue, you must take on the same policies as the U.S. It's so important. We see it on the ground level all the time.
China has the ability to move product inside Canada through investments. I'll be totally honest with you. Since the agreement has been under question, and then negotiated and ratified, we've actually had more investment opportunities in Canada. The problem now is that you need to filter out those opportunities. Are they going to benefit Canada, or are they going to hurt Canada?
A lot of the opportunities are just so they have drop zones, and we're watching those very closely. Those should go away.
On the other hand, I've also had investments from other countries that want access to the United States through Canada. We obviously want more of those investments.
The way we filter those out.... We can only do so much at the ground level, and we're trying, but the government has to give us the teeth, to arm us with the ability to stop those. It is critical. This is nothing new, I'll be honest with you. It's not new but it will continue, and actually this is where the provisions in the agreement can hurt us or help us. Right now they will help us if we can stop it from happening.
If we don't put those measures in, those RVC increases that Mr. David Cassidy talked about will start to play against us very quickly. Once they're in place, it will be very hard for us to change them. I actually have a grave concern that if this doesn't happen quickly, they will already be in place and then you'll be trying to push them out instead of stopping them from getting in.
