Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Good day to our three witnesses.
Regarding the Buy American provisions and the agreement that was entered into, I assume that, before the American stimulus package worth about $700 billion and under NAFTA was introduced, there were already infrastructure works that could be carried out in various U.S. municipalities and states.
Were Canadian and Quebec companies eligible to bid on those contracts before the American government introduced the $700 billion stimulus package related to the Buy American provisions?
