This relationship is a really important one, and a balanced relationship is also an important one.
We're very proud that we worked very hard with the Americans at the time to get those tariffs removed, because they were harmful to Canadian industry.
What you saw there and will continue to see, and what people should continue to expect to see, is Canada standing up strongly for Canadian sectors like steel and aluminum and, indeed, for all of the sectors that form this great economy in Canada from coast to coast to coast.
It was really terrific to spend the time with you at Tenaris because of its further expansion into Canada.
At the heart of your question is really what makes Canada so competitive and what makes the investment environment such a good one. If you look at industries in mining like Algoma, or Tenaris, which is actually producing steel components for the value chain, it is because Canada has a strong agreement like the one we have in CUSMA and it is through that clean energy and the skilled workforce that we have here in abundance.
I spent some time earlier this week with a handful of American CEOs who told me that Canada is the investment destination because they know they can count on us. They know there's the ability to train the workforce and have the workforce here in their organizations, and there is also the fact that we have a plan on climate that is going to produce the kind of energy that will be necessary for the industries of the future, all the way from advanced manufacturing to IT, AI and quantum, and the list goes on.
That's the attraction to Canada, which is why you hear me and so many, from the Deputy Prime Minister to the Prime Minister, talking up Canada. We're simply echoing what others are saying about Canada, because they are making the choices with their investments right here.
