Thank you, Mr. Albas, for your question.
I want to start by saying that I know the wildfires are touching your constituency and that I support you and your constituents. The federal government is here to provide any support they need.
I totally agree with you that this is a moment of crisis for the Canadian steel and aluminum sectors and they need our government's support. They need our country's support. I was on the phone this morning with the CEO of one of our steel companies and was in touch with one of our union leaders. As well, I was talking to the CEO of Seaspan. My approach right now is to ensure that in the areas under my control, in the areas that Transport Canada has responsibility for, we are pushing for Canadian workers in the manufacturing sector and for the use of Canadian steel and aluminum. That's why I sent out 71 letters in June to all the agencies I'm responsible for. That's why I'm convening a meeting specifically ensuring that we are building ferries in Canada using Canadian steel, and it's why I will be convening a meeting to do the same thing with the rail sector.
