Thank you very much, Mr. Chair, and I want to thank all of our witnesses that are with us today.
It's great. We heard a lot about labour and what this new CUSMA would do for labour. Mr. DiCaro, I want to read into the record what your boss, Jerry Dias, had to say:
This framework delivers significant improvements in auto. Unifor called for increased rules of origin and higher wage thresholds in Mexico to rebalance the auto manufacturing and stem the exodus of good paying jobs from Canada, so we're pleased to see those issues addressed. The auto industry should be absolutely thrilled.
I have a number of quotes here from many different labour organizations.
In terms of this new agreement, CUSMA, in levelling the playing field, that's what we've all been working toward in terms of creating the right new NAFTA. It would be levelling the playing field, ensuring that Canada is in a competitive position, because we know we have the people and we know we have the resources; it's just a matter of levelling that playing field to take full advantage of a new NAFTA.
Do you believe this is the agreement we're bringing forward?
