Thanks, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Balsillie, you mentioned supply chains and their importance. I'll give an example. I know that we're focusing right now on China and other things, but even with the Inflation Reduction Act, in my neck of the woods we've already seen some tool and die mould manufacturers, Canadian companies, having to offshore some work to take advantage of making quota laws in the United States.
If we lose some of these supply chains, it's going to have inner rot. Even though we're looking at China here, what are your thoughts on that issue? I know it's a bit separate, but to me it's like a more mature discussion about the Investment Canada Act. We can't just assume that the U.S. is our friend on these things. I've been enough times...as vice-chair of the Canada-U.S. parliamentary association, with softwood lumber and everything else.
What I'm worried about now is Canadian companies getting hollowed out from within because they have to offshore some contracts to the United States to actually be capable of selling their products into the United States in general.
