While I agree with your position, sir, when you say we certainly do not want to shut out our markets in the United States, I would say for the record, with respect, that I do find some inconsistency between the two points.
I will tell you that Jean-Michel Laurin from the Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters said, “It should be said that provincial and territorial procurement markets were by and large already open to American companies”. Canadian companies were used to facing competition. I would even suggest to you that the business people we've had around this table have said: “You know what? We have great workers in Canada; give us the opportunity and open the doors, because we haven't had that door open. We can compete and we can compete successfully”.
Go ahead, Mr. Trost.
