Thank you, Chair.
Thank you, Ambassador, for being with us.
Mr. Foster, thank you for being with us as well.
I'm going to follow up on some of the questions that were asked earlier by my colleague with regard to the formal negotiating mandate and how that is derived.
Ultimately, you indicated that it emanates from the cabinet. Right now, you mentioned that exploratory discussions are taking place between Ecuador and Canada. You're sharing templates and other past agreements that Canada has entered into, because we asked the question with regard to carbon pricing and whether or not the inclusion of carbon pricing has been discussed. You mentioned that it has been, probably through those exploratory talks and the sharing of previous agreements.
Could you share what the views of Ecuador have been on that being raised?
