Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Minister, for being here.
I want to just take a moment and think about the folks who are struggling right now. There will be husbands or wives who go home to their kids this evening who say, “You know what? We were expecting to go to hockey this year. We can't.” There will be workers who go home and say, “We can't make the mortgage payment this week because of the tariffs that were imposed.” There was an opportunity for this government to give relief to some of those families—families in British Columbia, in Quebec, and elsewhere. There was an opportunity to have really a generational investment that would have given jobs for years, if not decades, to families. That didn't happen, because of your government.
Now you say you're dismayed. You have consternation. You have 71 letters that are out there. Will any of those letters provide any relief to the families I've been talking about?
