We agree on the fact that other countries have already used section 28 in special situations. I believe that we have a situation which is both special and urgent, and the possibility of using that section of GATT was part of the WTO negotiations, and was part of the Uruguay Round negotiations. Some countries used it, so there are precedents. Earlier, we heard that we should not be creating precedents, but I believe we are the only ones who consistently try not to create precedents. I hope that you are aware of the fact that if we do not use section 28, the supply management system will be threatened. You say that section 28 cannot be used. Do you have any other options to suggest?
