Thank you.
I'm not sure if you are aware, Minister, but a few weeks ago a former European Parliament president, Patrick Cox, was in Ottawa and gave a speech. He talked about how he had followed the negotiations closely and truly felt that Canada had secured an incredible deal and has the unique distinction now of being the only country in the world with a North American Free Trade Agreement and a burgeoning European agreement across the Atlantic.
He also singled out the most favoured nation element to this, so that if the European Union, which we know is entering into discussions with the United States.... If better terms are secured in the future for another country, Canada will then benefit from those terms. Could you perhaps discuss that in more detail?
