Thank you, Madam Chair.
I want to ask some questions of Mr. Volpe first.
Mr. Kingston came to the committee to talk about autos, obviously. One thing I'm curious about is this: Would disunity in regulations constitute a non-tariff barrier?
In the example Mr. Kingston gave, he said, “we must maintain regulatory alignment with the United States”, because that's where most of our autos go for export. He was talking about Canadian EV standards and clean fuel standards somewhat decoupling from tailpipe emissions standards or regulations in the United States.
I don't know whether you know a lot about that or whether this is an emerging potential non-tariff barrier that we have with our largest trading partner.
