Thank you for the question.
We are in this difficult negotiation with the Americans. We need to be playing chess, not checkers.
We are—and I am personally—in regular contact with the CEOs of various leading companies, the heads of family-owned businesses. We are dealing with a number of trade unions, including in Quebec, and the companies you mentioned. I was sitting with them as recently as last Friday, thinking about how we make sure that the $1.2 billion we've already allocated to the industry is allocated to their support as quickly as possible.
One of the things we've been focusing on is the liquidity support. We have already provided $700 million in liquidity support. I will be sitting with the heads of all the commercial banks this evening to talk about making sure that money will be going to all the companies that need it as quickly as possible. I've personally undertaken that.
In the conversations, as recently as Friday, there are differences of opinion around whether buying the duties would be a good thing.
