As I said earlier, for a lot of the companies that we deal with, there's no such thing as “Canadian”. They operate on both sides of the border, so there's no doubt there's going to be an effect.
If you look at the auto industry, there are some parts that may be made here. They don't have the facilities in the United States, so that's going to have an effect on the auto industry. If you look at the integration and the $1 billion in trade crossing the border every day, there's no doubt that the American workers are going to be affected.
I heard the comment earlier, “Don't poke the bear.” Well, I'll tell you that if you don't poke the bear, he's going to eat your lunch. That's exactly what's coming down the pike. The fact of the matter is that on the tariffs, you have to be tough on this. We're a sovereign nation. We're proud of the work that we do. We're proud of the employers we have. We're proud of the communities, be it the Soo—there's a long-standing history there. The fact is, don't punish your best neighbour. That's just not the situation. Come to the table with respect and dignity. That's how it works. We deal with a lot of the people at this table and around here. When it gets to collective bargaining, you don't become a bully. The fact is, this is about fairness and justice for the country. There's a long-standing history.
You're right. On both sides of the border, working people are going to get hurt, and in many cases the consumer is going to pay a much larger price.
