Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you to our witnesses. I'm going to ask Mr. Rousson a question, but after he's finished I'd invite any other of our witnesses to chime in as well.
Mr. Rousson, the recent Canada-U.S.-Mexico agreement included labour and environmental measures as practices. It's interesting because originally the first deal didn't have that. In my opinion, it's good that was scrapped and that the Democrats included this change because, coming from my sector, auto, tool and die, mould making and so forth, we've consistently been undermined by labour and environmental subsidization in terms of competition.
This brings us into a first-ever agreement where we have it within the agreement and then there are measurables. Mind you, they're pretty complicated at some points, but they're there at least to start.
I'd like your opinion about our trade, including some type of measurables within the agreement for environmental labour standards.
Once you've completed your answer, Mr. Rousson, I would invite any other guest to give me their reflection on that too.
