Thank you, Mr. Chair. Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen.
Mr. Laurin, each time you appear, your vision of trade and of the free market surprises me, but you are entitled to your opinion.
Nevertheless, I listened carefully to your statement. With regard to the Buy American Act, you mentioned the Buy American feeling. That surprised me. Was last year's Buy American Act as bad as all that? Were these things not merely ghosts or scarecrows, as we say in Rimouski?
