Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Like my colleague Dean, I was taking part in our jobs tour over the summer, listening to smaller and medium-sized companies. One of the scary things I was hearing was CEOs saying that they're right at the precipice now. They're trying to make decisions like whether to reinvest, close down, or move their company to the United States.
I heard over and over again that we have to get rid of these tariffs, or get a new NAFTA. I apologize if I don't share Ms. Campbell's enthusiasm on the deal. The thought out there was that if we were going to be signing on to a new agreement, we wouldn't sign on to an agreement that's giving us less access than the agreement we had before. There was a sigh of relief perhaps, when the agreement was signed, but once you start looking at the details, these section 232 tariffs are still there.
Mr. Halucha, you were here a couple of years ago. You've been in front of us and have talked about the challenges of the steel community, and the benefit of our steel industry being able to have access to the United States. There appears to be no end in sight for these other tariffs.
What are you hearing? Are you worried about the long-term impact that this is going to have on our Canadian steel and aluminum industries?
