Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Minister, for taking the time out of your busy schedule to join your former committee, the natural resources committee, today to discuss an issue that's of critical importance not only to Canada's economy but also, as we just talked about, for B.C.'s economy.
As you mentioned, the U.S. regrettably has continued down a path of punitive and unfair tariffs on this critical export. Canadians are frustrated that our neighbours are continuing down this path, in spite of the sound case I know you're making and our government's been making for some time about the mutual economic cost in going down this path. We're forced to challenge these rulings in different fora to get the relief that we're entitled to, where we've been successful just about every step of the way.
With this in mind, I was hoping you could outline at a very high level what the next steps are legally that we can take to get such relief from these tariffs if we're not able to come to a negotiated solution.
