Agriculture is an area of shared jurisdiction, and we established a long time ago, in the context of the negotiations on NAFTA and the World Trade Organization back in the early 1990s, a mechanism called the agricultural trade policy federal-provincial trade groups.
After each of the negotiating rounds we had conversations with the provinces. Each province had its own provincial trade representative who was the contact point to express their views. Often, when we were negotiating abroad, we had delegations of provincial representatives that were not at the negotiating table, but were nearby so that if there was an issue of specific importance to a province, we could consult immediately with them, and they could ask questions directly as the negotiations were proceeding.
We had fairly close co-operation with the provincial governments.
