Thank you very much for the question, sir.
I can assure you that on behalf of our members in Canada, we will work very diligently to promote the aluminum that's produced by many of our brothers and sisters in Quebec.
Getting to your initial comment with respect to a tariff that was imposed, somehow that gets a bit misconstrued. When we talk about the aluminum industry around the world, the difficulty that we're trying to challenge now by meeting with the U.S. government, the Canadian government, and the ambassador to the United States from Canada is the dumping that's taking place from China. The fact is that China has excess capacity, and dumping it onto the world markets saturates the aluminum market and drives down the prices.
In response to what you said, we're proud of the work our members do and of their carbon footprint. We will continue to work towards making sure that the exports continue and we will continue do the fine work.
However, if you look at the global situation, you see that we also need to challenge that no differently than we do with the steel industry. We see continued dumping from offshore. That's another issue that I testified about recently before a panel such as this. We just can't be sitting on the sidelines watching this game take place while countries such as China are manipulating the system. I fully agree with you. We're going to continue to push to make sure that aluminum continues to prosper. As you said, it has the lowest carbon footprint.
I appreciate your comments.
