Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I really want to thank the witnesses for being here today. Some of you were here earlier in the spring and it really is an opportunity for us to get an idea of what the effect has been on the ground.
The chair said he heard a sigh of relief when the deal was announced this week, but I didn't hear that same sigh. Maybe it was a bit of a sucking sound of concern about jobs leaving the country if we don't get things in order.
I want to start off with Ms. Coulter.
It seems to be quite clear that you're just seeing increases in prices. Is there anything in the agreement this week that you see is there for you, that has made this a better situation for your company?
When we were here in the spring, we all thought that if we got an agreement with the United States, these tariffs would go away. What has happened is that the government has failed to even have a timeline where these tariffs can go away. Some of the companies we talked to earlier had a very short timeline in terms of when it was going to affect them perhaps with job losses and things such as that.
Can you comment on whether there is anything that is going to help your competitiveness in the market today with the agreement earlier this week?
