Thank you very much, Madam Chair. It's an honour to be here.

Thank you very much to all of the witnesses for appearing today. There has been some fantastic testimony.

My first question will go to Mr. Sobot.

Thank you very much for your business. I understand through the CAAM committee I'm on that you produce pipe that is resistant, to some extent, to earthquakes. It's pretty special, and I think that's fantastic.

I also understand, sir, that 70 associations have sent a letter to U.S. Trade Representative complaining that Canada may be breaching NAFTA by doing so. How did the industry get an exemption last time, and what opportunities could be leveraged now?
