Madam Speaker, it is correct that we do have some experts along with good officials. There is a whole repertoire of people and relationships. I will be working, and others will be working at their national and subnational levels on the effect that this would have on Americans because the tariffs will be paid by Americans at the end of the day. The government will collect the sums of money.
However, I think it is important to point out that the government needs to stop itself from hurting itself further. A good example of that is the reduction of border hours. The government had an agreement with the previous administration where it closed ports of entry in Canada and moved staff outside of those areas. It did not agree to open up a training facility in Windsor to add the more than 2,000 to 3,000 workers we need on our border. It also did not expand CBSA officers' powers to deal with some of the issues of gun control and so forth.
I am hoping that the government changes itself from waiting and seeing what is going to happen to actually taking some tactical advantage of what we can control to alleviate some of the problems that are being pushed on us.
