International Trade committee  We don't have supply management, fortunately, in the European Union.

International Trade committee  No.

International Trade committee  No. We don't think there are really serious investment restrictions in Canada now. With CETA it will even be better.

International Trade committee  What do you mean—that they might go to Mexico, for example?

International Trade committee  First, on the geographical indicators, I think we also struck a good balance. We have a very high number of geographical indicators, products in the European Union, and some of them could not enter, like Parma and some—

International Trade committee  Yes. In any case, for some it was very difficult, or some entered or were here on the Canadian market with a name that was protected with the European Union.

International Trade committee  That's very difficult to predict, because it's up to the companies to use the agreement and to increase trade, so it's very difficult to say.
