I can assure you that one of the key offensive interests we had as we embarked upon negotiations was to achieve a robust outcome on services. As you know, services covers a wide range of activities. As you probably know, Canada is one of the world leaders in technical services, in design services. Canada is the fourth largest exporter in the world of engineering expertise. That's why it's so important that we have an outcome in services that works for Canada. In fact, the outcome we have been able to achieve in this agreement is the best outcome the European Union has ever given to any of its trade partners around the world.
By the way, services doesn't include solely the services themselves. It includes such things as labour mobility, temporary entry, intra-company transfers to allow companies to remain efficient so they can get their officials across to other countries where they do business, to transact business, to allow their technical personnel to go in and install machinery, and service machinery.
The agreement also addresses the issue of mutual recognition of qualifications, something which has really been a challenge for many of our professionals. For example, say Canada and Germany would like to recognize each other's credentials in engineering, where we desperately need engineers in Canada in certain sectors of our economy. This agreement will now expedite that. It will allow professional organizations, like the engineers, to agree among themselves that they will recognize each other's qualifications, thereby allowing them to do business across the Atlantic.
