Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thanks, Minister Fast, and Steve and your team, for the outstanding job on this historic agreement and the opportunity to inform Canadians a little more about the magnitude of this agreement. I know you said that Canadians are aware, but I don't believe there is the awareness level that we need to bring to our businesses. An agreement is only as good as the businesses that engage and take advantage of the open markets.
I come from the Okanagan, home of the number one Pinot Noir in the world, and Stockwell Day, who was your predecessor as the trade minister. I was on the trade committee back in 2009 when our committee adopted the European Free Trade Association agreement, EFTA, as it's known. The four countries of that association.... It was ratified and was opposed by the opposition, by the NDP. Now we're not sure about this agreement with 28 CETA member state countries.
Could you elaborate on the difference between the countries of CETA and EFTA?
