Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
Thank you to the officials for being here.
I want to raise a couple of things that dovetail with some of what we heard in the first hour.
To the officials, we heard a little bit from the minister about how critical it was when renegotiating CUSMA to retain the dispute settlement processes. We heard in response to specifically something that Mr. Patzer raised about rules of origin.
We know that Mexico has initiated consultations under chapter 31 of CUSMA, under that dispute settlement process. They requested the establishment of a panel on January 6, and we've decided to join that as a complainant.
Could you talk to us about that decision and what the next steps in that process will be with Canada's participation?
