Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for being here.
I'm going to agree with my colleague, Kyle, in that we do have a dire situation here.
Mr. Neumann, you were here in July, and back then we were hearing how grave it was. You mentioned the metal tubing plant, Sandvik, in Arnprior closing down. We heard that last night. They are moving to Scranton. They are consolidating down there. The concern with that huge betrayal and disappointment with the USMCA to have these 232s.... We even heard from Mr. Ross in the spring, I think. He was saying these were put on for leverage. The fact that they are still there, I think, has just surprised everyone.
We heard from Mr. Whitney. Unlike Mr. Fonseca, I heard most people come and say they were having a problem with the government aid. It's very onerous, and even the big companies are saying it's a timeline type of thing.
Mr. Stepien, I believe you said you did get remission relief. How long did that take? What was the paperwork like?
