We all have family that we think about every now and then. Arjan is 16, so he might be driving a car right now.
That's a little segue into my first question.
We've been thinking a lot about things. We heard a lot when we were down in Washington. We talked about the 232 steel and aluminum tariffs. I'm co-chair of the all-party steel caucus, and I was there prior to the 232s and after. I remember talking with a Democrat. I won't name him and name names since we're not naming names. That was around 26 years ago. He said, “I voted against the free trade agreement. I voted against it.” I remember it too. I was much younger then. My hair was a little darker. I had noticed there was a lot of trepidation, fear, if you will, about job losses in Canada, including around the auto sector.
That same Democrat said he voted against it then. Now he says, “I'm voting for it this time because I see how important it is and see the integration of the market.” Algoma Steel ships 60% of its steel into the manufacturing sector, into appliances and into auto. They source all the materials from about four or five states, coal and steel.
I'll start with you. What's different today from it was then, in people not having the fear? How does this agreement secure Canadian jobs?
