Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My first question is for Ms. Cobden and Mr. Desmarais.
It goes without saying that, in the context of a study on a revision of the CUSMA, we need to talk about the trade relationship with the Americans. I've heard that this issue has been very much on the table. We know they're wary of steel imports that might come through Canada.
Until now, what we've heard, especially from President Biden, has been about Mexican steel. There's an admitted distrust in the official American discourse. However, we also know that there is dumping here. You'll correct me if I'm wrong in a short while, but that's what some pretty important indicators are telling us.
For his part, candidate Donald Trump is already pledging to impose a 10% tariff on Canadian steel if elected. This is coming from Donald Trump, but that doesn't mean that President Biden, if re-elected, wouldn't do the same thing, if indeed there's a transpartisan consensus on this kind of practice.
Currently, 22% of steel imported into the United States comes from Canada. First, are producers here concerned about a possible loss of access to the U.S. market?
