I wanted to ask what productive capability do Mexico, the US, and Canada, uh, need to build together to remain globally competitive as a region going forward?

You know, I think that we already have such complementary skills, uh, across our three countries in terms of, you know, d-developing ideas, innovation at its core.

In, you know, that happens, let's say, in the US, industrializing that innovation that happens in, in Canada and the, uh, advanced manufacturing that can come out of it, and then the implementation at scale in Mexico that, you know, I think we have huge opportunity for continued collaboration.

Uh, I think that we need to put this noise behind us of the tariffs and, you know, uh, concerns around USMCA so that we can, we can continue to pursue that and really lever that opportunity.

You know, when I think about, uh, global markets, I mean, North America is a fraction of global markets.

Automotive is a great example.

Uh, you know, the auto-- twenty percent or less of global vehicles are made and sold in North America, eighty percent outside.

Thank you so much, Linda.

How would you describe the environment right now with tariffs, with the ex- you know, what happened at the August 21st, the breakdown of talks, all that kind of stuff?

Yeah.

I mean, for Linamar, y- you know, over 90% of our sales has no tariff, uh, at all, la- largely because a big part of our business is auto parts, and there's, as long as you're USMCA compliant, there's no, uh, tariff on auto parts.

So that's a great thing.

I mean, obviously some, uh, products in our industrial division are i- being impacted by the tariffs, but, you know, we, we need to find ways to, you know, close, uh, close those, uh, additional costs through productivity, better cost, better innovation, uh, a lot of different ways.

So we're, we're working hard on that.

And, you know, we're, we're finding those opportunities, which is great to see.

You don't think it'll be unraveled?
