Well, on behalf of all Canadians, thank you for doing this for, as I've said, a historic agreement. Sometimes the last mile is the hardest. With your patience and perseverance, I'm confident you'll complete the agreement.
There is another aspect. As you mentioned, this is the building block for this agreement, but it is also, as Minister Fast said, a 21st century trade agreement. From your perspective, is this going to be something that you and others will be able to use for future agreements? Canada is a trading nation. For those who want to turn back the clock and are against globalization, the reality is.... I'd like to hear from you. I believe that our Canadian businesses can compete in the world if we have a level playing field. With this building block template in place, will that provide Canada with that competitive edge going forward?
