Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Good afternoon, everyone.
I was looking at the list of people sitting on the European Economic and Social Committee. If the agreement is ratified, you will be involved in the evaluation process. There is already documentation on the subject. Your role will consist in evaluating the agreement, in collaboration with a similar agency in Canada, once a year. So much variety and so many countries are involved, and people will be representing you. You will have to conduct an evaluation taking into account the interests of workers, executives, business managers, banks, industry, the private and public sectors, and so on.
Have you set rules in advance for determining whether there is consent following the free-trade agreement's performance evaluation? It is a rather complex process. Have you set rules in advance?
