I want to thank our guests. I am the only Ontario member of Parliament here. It's great to be here in your part of the world. The eastern bastards are freezing. I just want you to know that.
What I heard from both Mr. Maynard and Mr. Finlayson was that CETA lays the foundation for greater opportunities within Canada. Mr. Finlayson, you made a comment about the TPP as well when prompted about that. Mr. Maynard, you said that what we do is we get ahead of the United States, which we clearly are with CETA, and that should be advantageous to us.
Mr. Finlayson, you indicated in the case of the TPP that the U.S. is there and is a major part of that play. Does the fact that we're ahead of the United States with CETA have any impact on the TPP as you see it? Is there any advantage? Is it neutral for us as it relates to the TPP?
