International Trade committee  There is not to my knowledge either.

International Trade committee  This is what I'm saying. I don't want to open anything here, but I foresee issues on the Champlain Bridge, they're coming.

International Trade committee  There are issues with that steel coming in, there are major issues coming, which this contractor is going to have to live with.

International Trade committee  He's going to have to live with it, for sure. I mentioned the example in Alberta with that Korean steel that came in. Eventually I had a good relationship with this EPC, and they told me that the structure ended up costing them double what it would cost them to buy it in Canada

It's these engineering, procurement, and construction , EPC, contractors, the ones who take the work and eventually subcontr

International Trade committee  It depends on what the changes are, of course. In my presentation, I gave the example of the Gordie Howe bridge. To my knowledge, this is the first time in Canada that there have been clauses requiring purchases to be made in Canada or the U.S. This means that there will be Nort

International Trade committee  I meant both. Half of the manufacturing work will be done by foreign companies. There was a international bidding process for the engineering work and bids were received from companies in several countries. The design will be done by a mix of international and local companies.

International Trade committee  It's a very good question. Our company in the last six years has been running at not even 50% of capacity, so we could definitely do more with the same infrastructure and get more people into the facility. I mentioned the Champlain Bridge, which is 25 minutes from our facility;
