Yes, that's certainly an important question in the negotiations right now. Canada has been probably the most active player in the negotiations in terms of providing new creative ideas for trying to move the negotiations forward and advancing our interests.
When it comes to the issue of sensitive products, we have taken a very hard line and said that consistent with the motion, we will not be accepting or talking about tariff reductions or tariff quota expansion for supply-managed products.
That has meant that we aren't in a position to engage in the design of the approach on sensitive products that others are engaging in. We're certainly aware that the U.S. and Europe have been talking primarily about the treatment of sensitive products. That's most of what they've been discussing over the last several weeks. So they are starting to design an approach on sensitive products, and there are also discussions taking place in various other forums.
We're a bit limited in what we can do in terms of having those discussions. The U.S. is talking individually to various countries now. We're likely to get a request to meet with the U.S. in the next month or so. They will be coming to us and saying, what are you prepared to offer us on dairy, poultry, and eggs, because the rest of our market is open to them under NAFTA. At that time, we will be saying that we're not prepared to do anything.
Obviously that's going to bring some kind of reaction. It's also going to mean that we're not going to be able to have a discussion about where we might be able to provide access that won't cause any kind of impact, which would be the case with respect to some supply-managed commodities. So we won't be having that kind of discussion.
I think we have a very strong position in support of supply management, but we run the risk of the discussions among other members going in a different direction.
