Thank you, Madam Chair.
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your opening remarks. I also thank you for sounding the alarm on this issue. It has sounded so often over the past 40 years that it has almost become background noise, sadly.
It never seems to get resolved. Let's hope it happens this time.
Mr. Lee, I assume you're in touch with the Canadian Home Builders' Association, as well as the National Association of Home Builders in the United States, which is vehemently opposed to the increase in tariffs. That association is also said to be particularly close to the Republican party—much more so than to the Democrats, in fact.
Have you been told about concerns regarding the new situation or, conversely, about things that might give rise to some optimism? What is the Americans' current state of mind?
