Thank you, Madam Chair.
Good afternoon, Minister. It's a pleasure to have you here today.
I'm going to ask you to don your other hat. My riding is close to the American border, in Beauce. As you know, we do a lot of business there, in a number of sectors. In particular, we're leaders in the steel industry in North America.
You seem to be having a lot of fun today, but businesses are really not having any fun right now. It was said that they were going to hit a wall, but they have reached that point.
My question is quite simple. There have been many issues to address over the past year, and the priority issue hasn't been resolved yet.
You're responsible for negotiations with the Americans. Where are you on that?
