Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to our witnesses for appearing here today. This is very important testimony. I hope all members are paying close attention.
As a committee, we dealt with the former softwood lumber agreement, which many characterize as the softwood sellout. Thousands of jobs were lost as a result of that agreement. We now have EFTA, and you've given us very strong warnings that this agreement, if there are no other changes made in shipbuilding and no carve-out, is in a very real sense going to have a very negative impact on the shipbuilding industry. Would it be fair to characterize the EFTA agreement as the shipbuilding sellout?
