Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank the witnesses for being here. I'm going to start right off with Mr. Adams and Mr. Volpe.
Everybody around the table is aware of the announcement of General Motors in Oshawa. We are going to be able to retain some parts and stamping manufacturing there, but the quote that I've heard more often than not with our manufacturers is that they can handle bad policy and they can handle good policy, but this uncertainty is a real problem. They're competing for international mandates and Mr. Trump wants to bring a lot of that investment to the United States, and if companies locate there, that's where they get the most certainty.
This deal—as Mr. Adams said, it's not a perfect deal—is really important for my community. So, thank you for your input.
Because we have such integrated trade and integrated supply chains and we build cars together in North America—that's the way it has been going—what would it do to our supply chains, our ability to win investment and certainty if this were not ratified, if we dithered in ratifying this agreement?
Maybe we could start with Mr. Adams and then go to Mr. Volpe.
