I would say that our number one recommendation to the government on the tariff retaliation was to focus on NAFTA. That to us is the number one priority. With applying tariffs, we understand the need to retaliate, but we need to fix the base problem, which is NAFTA in the first place. We think it should include things like working co-operatively with the U.S. and Mexico on dumping of products into the North American market. We think that's part of the package, which we recommended a year ago. I don't know how much discussion there was taking place but we think there's a path forward on NAFTA; that should be priority number one. Yes, we need to retaliate because of short-term priorities, but there are ways to get around some of the short-term pain, and we believe in that as well. We need to try to hammer out a NAFTA deal in the very short term. Hopefully, it won't be October or November, as was suggested earlier, but maybe something as soon as September.
