The American ambassador has been clear on this, that it hasn't happened for at least seven months. I find your unwillingness to confirm that to committee deeply troubling. We're here to represent Canadians. I have a lot of auto workers in my riding who have lost their jobs at the Brampton assembly plant, and others who work at Honda who are deeply concerned that they may lose their jobs. I think your lack of forthrightness on this is deeply troubling.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9315360\" data-originallang=\"en\">You did say, however, that you're in possession of an economic analysis of the economic damage that is being done to the industries suffering from the section 232 tariffs. I would ask that you provide that economic analysis to the committee so that we also can understand what economic damage is happening to those affected industries. Will you provide those documents to the committee?</p>",

L'ambassadeur am\u00e9ricain a \u00e9t\u00e9 clair \u00e0 ce sujet, cela ne s'est pas produit depuis au moins sept mois. Je trouve profond\u00e9ment troublant que vous refusiez de le confirmer devant le Comit\u00e9. Nous sommes ici pour repr\u00e9senter les Canadiens. Ma circonscription compte de nombreux travailleurs de l'automobile qui ont perdu leur emploi \u00e0 l'usine d'assemblage de Brampton, et d'autres employ\u00e9s de Honda qui craignent fortement de perdre leur emploi. Je trouve votre manque de franchise \u00e0 ce sujet extr\u00eamement pr\u00e9occupant. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9315360\" data-originallang=\"en\">Cependant, vous avez dit que vous disposez d'une analyse des pertes \u00e9conomiques subies par les secteurs touch\u00e9s par les droits de douane pr\u00e9vus \u00e0 l'article 232. Je vous demanderais de fournir cette analyse \u00e9conomique au Comit\u00e9 pour que nous puissions nous aussi comprendre l'ampleur des pertes \u00e9conomiques subies par ces secteurs touch\u00e9s. Allez-vous fournir ces documents au Comit\u00e9?</p>"
