Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
Mr. Kingston, you brought up something that I wanted to delve into a bit. You mentioned the U.S. Defense Production Act. One thing I learned from working with the Americans was that the Americans put security and trade first. When I was working with them, we did this beyond the border action plan, which was about security and competitiveness. We really focused on NEXUS, FAST and radio-frequency identification in order to streamline the border.
If we started to work strategically with the Americans, how would that improve our competitiveness from the defence sector? I'm wondering if you could enlighten us on that.
Madam Cobden, I remember the steel and aluminum tariffs. I think a lot of that had to do with defence and the dumping of Chinese steel. It was something we should have gotten ahead of, but again, they put their security first, which is their right. The Five Eyes were taking so long to manage that, and it's about a buildup of trust.
How can we leverage that part of it? I think we have such good-quality products here with steel and aluminum, but I just don't see any action in that regard.
