No, you give up your leverage. The fact is that you have the second round coming up. There was a commitment from President Trump that if we get a free trade agreement, which they did the morning he tweeted out that we're back to a good normal relationship, the tariffs would come off. The government never held him to account on that.
To now go ahead and sign the agreement when those tariffs are there, all we're doing is running into muddy waters. The fact is it doesn't help the industry. It doesn't help the people sitting here today, giving you testimony about the seriousness of this issue.
It's wrong-headed. It's unconscionable that we're in the situation that we are today, if you look at the trading partners that Canada and the United States have been for decades. You cross those borders no differently than any of us and you see that trade continues. We have an integrated market. It makes absolutely no sense. We're up against the bully, and the fact is you have mid-term elections coming next week, and maybe something will happen after that. We'll wait and see, but to go ahead and sign that agreement doesn't give me any comfort whatsoever.
