Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I'd just like to point out that Mr. Easter does very clearly acknowledge the fact that while his government was in power they were willing to negotiate and in that manner also negotiated away some of the potential tariffs for the supply management sector.
I think it's important that we take this opportunity today, as we even have constituents here from Alberta, all the way from Lacombe, to hear what's going on with the WTO negotiations.
First of all, Mr. Verheul, I want to congratulate you. The members from my constituency, my constituents who have the opportunity to keep an eye on the WTO trade negotiations, my colleagues such as David Anderson and Gerry Ritz, have long since bragged that we have some of the best trade negotiators in the world and it's about time we took the handcuffs off them a little bit and got a good result for our producers.
I'd like to talk to you a little bit about market access and what you perceive. Some of these questions may be a little too specific, but I'm going to ask you to focus on the seven primary commodities that would be affected by this agreement. Do you have any idea of the numbers on the increase of export value in Canadian dollars that we would see overall in these seven commodities?
