Yes, I would say we're very fortunate. We're an international union on both sides of the border, which not only gives us a voice in Ottawa, but it gives us a voice in Washington. We do a lot of work together to protect our countries and our economies. As we all know, our economies are so dovetailed together on almost everything.
Just to back up to your point around some of the tariff cases and our having the ability to testify in tariff cases, that is a huge step forward. You hear that from a lot of the committee people, who would normally just get facts and a whole bunch of stuff. When they're able to hear a worker on how it affected their community, and the layoffs and the lack of overtime.... You hear a lot of committee members saying that matters: how that affected their bargaining and how they were in a weaker position to bargain for pension plans and wages. That's been a huge step forward, and I can't thank the committees enough for allowing us to be part of that.
I just want to say that with melt and pour coming up, that's a huge step forward, too, because some of these countries circumvent it. China and some other countries like to go to three different countries, change the stamp and dump it in: It's still dumped steel. With the implementation of melt and pour, we really need to resource that. We also need to resource the CBSA in terms of effecting or enforcing the trade remedies we're getting at the trade council.
Thank you for the work you've done and the importance you see in the steel industry. I can tell you that we and our U.S. counterparts work strongly together to protect our two economies and to make sure that both of our economies have a thriving steel industry and many other industries.
