Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to thank our guests for being here today. We certainly have a variety of views. I think we have two distinct views.
As I reflect on our time today, I'm going to take a line from Mr. Julian, because he quoted past guests at these hearings.
We certainly heard from Jean-Michel Laurin from the Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters, who said that Canadian companies were used to facing competition from the U.S. and other parts of the world in our procurement markets here in Canada. I'd like to stop right there, because I heard something that Mr. Caron said, that this process certainly means that the lowest cost will be the only factor in the discussion.
Mr. Ross, I don't know you, but you're from Nova Scotia, which is near Cape Breton, which is a very good thing. My Cape Breton mom would have been proud.
