So Jonathan, can we get your thoughts on how you think Canada might respond to these latest Trump tariffs that he's looking to impose on Canada?
4:24
Well, it's indicative of the reality that with Trump and the current U.S. administration, things are almost permanently unpredictable.
4:34
So it's a very fluid situation at the moment.
4:37
It's worth noting that these most recent tariffs, and they only take effect as of August 19th, so this may be a bargaining ploy, maybe not.
4:49
is the first time in history, maybe with one exception in 1932, that the actual Smoot-Hawley Act tariff powers have been invoked.
5:01
They have long been a threat, but they've never been used.
5:06
So they're untested in courts.
