Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Welcome, Your Excellency, to committee. Congratulations on your new posting, and welcome to Canada.
This agreement, as you have heard in some of the preliminary debate, has been around. I think this is the third incarnation and third Parliament now. Certainly I think most parliamentarians would want to support rules-based trading and clarification of rules with countries and emerging economies around the world. I can't imagine that anyone would not support this free trade agreement at the end of the day.
Ambassador, I realize you are new in your role and you may not have all the numbers at your fingertips, but what other countries has Panama signed free trade agreements with in North, Central, and South America? I guess you could expand that to the EU as well.
