Thank you very much for the excellent testimony. There certainly are some very important ideas that you brought forward for us, such as the idea of a rapid response working group by the Canadian Labour Congress. I used to work for the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities in Ontario, and there was a very similar model, which can be very successful. Thank you for that and also for your support for the various modernizing trade measures that we put in place in 2016, 2017, and again this year. It was rhetorical when I said that if we did not have those in place, we probably wouldn't have a steel and aluminum industry here. I do agree that more can be done. We should never rest on our laurels. We should always be nimble and continue to look at various supports.
One of the things that I talked about was our trip to Washington and various states to talk to different people. It was very effective because we're now seeing a lot of those Congress people and senators approaching the administration and saying that what it's doing is wrong. The reason I bring this up is that last week the chamber of commerce—and I must add that the local chambers of commerce in the Soo, Hamilton, and Windsor, have been very proactive in supporting this.... It made me very proud to see that we have labour, the chambers, the steel industry, the mayors, and the community standing strong in the Soo and across this nation.
One of the suggestions brought forward by Warren Beatty and all the presidents of the chambers of commerce across Ontario is that we go down to, and redouble our efforts, in the United States. They're saying that they also need to engage their American counterparts.
Do you feel that is a good suggestion by the chambers across this great nation?
