As you know, I spoke with both the Mexican president and the American president over the past couple of days. And our team is right now in Washington digging into the progress made, and looking at what the next steps are.

We will engage in a positive and constructive way, as we always have been, and look forward to ultimately signing a deal, as long as it is good for Canada and good for middle class Canadians.

There's been some very positive progress, particularly on autos. And we're glad to be engaging as we have been.

Merci beaucoup.
