Good afternoon. As I reach down to push the button here, I see we have a plastic housing on our microphone. That, as well as the plastic inside your car, came from a mould. My name is Tim, and my partner Jon and I are from the Canadian Association of Moldmakers. Thank you for having us back. We make plastic injection moulds.
We are probably a good example of what's good about trade, because 80% of what we build is exported. With our affiliation with the APMA, Automotive Parts Manufacturers' Association, we represent about $35 billion in income. We represent 230 companies that have 1,400 members along the corridor from Toronto to Windsor. We are here because you invited us. Thank you very much for doing so.
To talk specifically about trade, it's obviously very important to us, because the domestic market is not a significant market for our industry. We're very good at what we do, but we're mostly restricted to the NAFTA area of the U.S. and Mexico. We're looking for opportunities elsewhere. CETA is providing some. The CPTPP is probably not in our wheelhouse because it has a lot of emerging markets. Our industry is extremely sophisticated and capital-intense, and as such it typically caters to well-developed markets. Mercosur is something that is on our radar, and we're watching it carefully and offering any kind of support we can because there are some developed markets that are just crying for our product, and we're restricted right now by commercial barriers. If those barriers were to come down, that would help us to expand.
I won't go into too much. Jon has a lot to talk about, so I'm going to turn it over to him at this point.
