Yes, absolutely they will. I want to thank you for the way you framed the issue, because I am so concerned about the workers in our steel sector, in our aluminum sector and in softwood lumber. These are very important Canadian industries. I've spent a lot of time in steel mills, in aluminum smelters and in pulp mills. When we fought the section 232 tariffs in 2018, we worked really hard with steel and aluminum, so I know who you're talking about. I think that we as Canadians need to recognize that these essential industries, and the people who work there—often generations of families working there—are under attack. They need our support.
That's what I'm working hard to do. These 71 letters to the agencies I control are about saying this to them: When you are looking at your procurement, you need to put a priority on Canadian manufacturing jobs, steel, aluminum and softwood. I want to point to this meeting that we're going to hold with the shipbuilders, with steel and aluminum and with the ferry operators.
