International Trade committee  I'm saying I'm not personally aware and that we commit to get back to you once we've looked into it.

International Trade committee  If I might, Mr. Chairman, many issues are not covered in a trade agreement. A trade agreement is limited to the key issues: goods, services, trade, investment. So the fact that an issue is not addressed in the trade agreement doesn't necessarily mean it's not being addressed elsewhere.

International Trade committee  It's an interesting question, because we went through this in the development of some of the recommendations for the global commerce strategy, where we looked globally to try to figure out where our efforts should be placed in terms of this bilateral and regional activity. There was a whole range of factors that were in play.

International Trade committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair, for the opportunity to appear again before this committee to speak to Bill C-46, an act to implement the Canada-Panama free trade agreement and parallel agreements on labour and the environment. You've introduced my colleagues at the table. If needed, I have other colleagues here with me to fill in some holes here and there.
