Mr. Chair, companies are not turning their backs out of choice; companies are turning their backs out of consequence.
I would like to ask the member to talk about the CUSMA review and the preparations for that. The U.S. has already begun hearings in preparation for the CUSMA review, and Canada, from my perspective, cannot be caught flat-footed. Right now, there is so much inconsistency, frustration and concern because we do not know whether the government is going or coming.
Could the government speak to what specific steps it is taking to prepare for Canada's role in the CUSMA review? Which stakeholders in the auto sector has the government contacted to ask questions about that so far?
