Okay, thank you.
I'll start with a response to the procurement question, and I'll leave the agriculture questions to my colleague.
With respect to procurement, particularly at the provincial and territorial and municipal level, the EU has made it clear across the board that they have very strong offensive interests in that area. The EU claims to be the most open government procurement market in the world, so they're looking for that same kind of access in other markets.
We have been assessing the EU's request, and certainly when you make requests in a negotiation like this, you aim very high. And they did aim very high, just as we aim very high in our requests of them. So we shouldn't assume they will be getting everything they're asking for because that certainly won't be the case.
We will certainly be making some moves into the provincial and territorial agencies, as well as federal agencies and municipalities, but we're also looking very closely at the EU approach to government procurement so we can reflect all the flexibilities they have built into their system that allow for the kinds of practices you mentioned. So we're engaged in that process now.
We also need to keep in mind that we're negotiating fairly high thresholds, which would mean that anything under these thresholds would not be subject to the obligations of the agreement. Procurement for construction, for example, the threshold is $8.5 million. Anything under that would not be subject to the discipline.
There are also flexibilities for security-related issues, defence-related issues. All of that is exempted. There are a series of exemptions that limit the amount of access and provide certain flexibilities to those offering procurement.
So we're still at the stage now where we're about to exchange offers on procurement. Then we'll see how serious the European side is about some of these specific issues and take it from there.
