I think we could look at a number of specific models. We've been promoting them, but they're more poignant now.
For example, Canada and the United States have a memorandum of understanding with respect to defence procurement. We've had it since the 1960s. It's part of the U.S. defence production sharing agreement, and it says that for the purposes of Pentagon procurement, Canada should be treated domestically and vice versa. So, if there are Canadian suppliers for defence contracts, they should be able to bid on an equal playing field with American suppliers.
We think this model, which has worked very well in that sector for several decades now, is a good model to look at for PPE procurement and for everything else in the economic rebuild. In other words, we think that Canada and the United States should treat each other as if we were domestic suppliers for the purposes of government contracts that would apply to infrastructure.
Another way to look at this is that if you go back to 2008 with the economic crisis at that time, there was the investment in the economy to try to prevent economic collapse, and there was a Canadian exemption from the Buy American provisions ultimately. That was hard fought, but we got there. So, I think the idea is that if we can treat each other domestically for the purposes of procurement, that would go a long way to addressing the kind of challenges you identify.
