So Colin, what does MEMA's position exist right now in terms of USMCA?

Yeah, that's a good question.

So our mission and vision is to make sure we foster a healthy, growing, profitable, and innovative fire industry.

For us, it all comes down to how can we as a supplier industry and automotive industry in the United States be more competitive.

So that is, when we talk about anything, that's the baseline that we use is how do we make sure that suppliers in the United States and then more broadly are competitive.

If you talk to suppliers, everybody would love to just leave the agreement alone.

That is by far and away everybody's sentiment.

What do you think?

And that slowly led to the ideas that we wanted to discuss in this paper.

It was really interesting looking at the literature and then trying to assess what we could add.

And I think what was very obvious was the evolutionary perspective led us to think not necessarily only about health, And levels of stress, because that's really what drives much of the Japanese literature is people are hyper stressed.

We need to find a way to deal with it.

Is there some sort of treatment that you could do? Oh, look, you can go outside.

That's cheap and easy.

And there's some benefits to it.

And I wonder if you could speak to sort of what those cities have done and what your hopes are for other cities taking advantage of sort of this knowledge to improve urban life.

What policy measures within or alongside the USMCA could address concerns about the growing use of Chinese parts in US supply chains while maintaining trade efficiency and product quality? How would a new version of the USMCA speak to that, the Chinese parts?

There's a few silent partners to USMCA, China being one of them.

And they're absolutely, whether it's China or other non-market economies, I do expect some degree of restriction on non-market economies to make things more fair and competitive.

And I think that's what it's all about.

It's about creating a level playing field here in North America.

make sure that we're all operating under the same investment principles fair labor practices those kind of things and that's you know if we can all meet that then i i don't think any supplier would hesitate to compete from north america with anybody else abroad but we have to make sure that those rules are fair that we're operating in in north america

I think the lower the tariff, whether it's 5% or 10%, again, below 12 and a half, the better off Canadian producers are.

I think also, you know, on paper, Mexico may have more exports and imports to the United States of auto parts.
