Thank you, Chair.
Thank you, all witnesses, for being here on a Friday; it's nice of you to attend.
When we starting looking at this, we thought this was an area where the WTO was possibly going to fall apart; we weren't sure who was going to be elected president of the United States; we were seeing issues with PPE and protectionism around that. We were hearing of issues with countries grouping together, where Canada wasn't part of those groups, and making sure they took care of each other.
One of the things I've been curious about during this COVID-19 crisis and in the future as we progress down this vaccination path, and knowing that COVID-19 is going to be with us even once we're vaccinated, is how do we proceed? In terms of structural changes because of COVID—including the election of a new president in the United States, which will also structurally change things there—what are the things we should look for?
Ms. Greenwood, you talked about your North American rebound. How do we take something that should have been done in the last CUSMA agreement, which was bringing us closer together, but unfortunately the minds weren't at the table to do that...? I think we can do that now. What are the types of things we should be looking at, and I'll use the example of PPE? Should there be an agreement, not necessarily that it all be built in Saskatchewan, or all be built in Canada, but maybe certain things like this should always be built in North America?
