Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
One thing we've heard is that industry requested that the government appoint a lead negotiator-slash-envoy to resolve the dispute. If my memory serves me correctly, the trade minister asked for a name, and Mr. MacNaughton's name was put forward. To my understanding, nothing has happened with that. I asked the minister at the committee—I think it was five times—whether she had raised appointing special envoys or negotiators to try to resolve the dispute with our U.S. counterparts, and she refused to answer the question.
I'm wondering whether any of the industry representatives have any thoughts on why she refused to answer that question.
