Yes. I've heard it said by many witnesses that one of the big problems we have with China is that they manipulate their currency, and other countries do as well. Currency manipulation can wipe out almost entire gains from any kind of trade agreement.
Do you think currency should be negotiated in a trade agreement? That's a glaring omission in CETA. There is nothing on currency. Mind you, we have dealt with intellectual property, patent law. Some people wonder why that's in a trade deal but currency is not.
Would your advice be that Canada should have currency in our trade agreements?
