As I mentioned earlier, the 6.1% tariff in terms of the costs that the Japanese automakers are facing is not that significant in terms of their production. It's more on the market side that we're looking at the impact of the 6.1% tariff.
In a sense, there are two industries in Canada; it's kind of bifurcated. The production side is largely export based. Even our operations in Canada would not be the size they are without access to the larger U.S. market. While we keep a lot more of the production here in Canada because we build small vehicles that Canadians prefer, the U.S. market is still a critical part of that.
During the recession when the U.S. market took a big dive, the production side was the biggest side of the industry that was hurt in Canada. It wasn't so much the market, but that the production plants were seriously affected by that. Then with the tsunami and other disasters last year, our production was down about 50%, I think, through a number of months before the supply chain started to get repaired.
We're supporting the trade deal for the benefits that would come obviously from lower tariffs, but we think there are also opportunities for many other sectors that we think would be beneficial for both countries.
