My response to that is, first of all, it's nice to see you again, Mr. Angus.
Regarding the international negotiations that are happening, I can tell you sincerely that I've spoken to the Minister of International Trade. I've clearly outlined to him what's involved, and my department has given him a full briefing on that aspect of the negotiations that would impact on the cultural industry. He's made a firm commitment that it is not the intent of our negotiators, it is not part of, and would not be part of, negotiating instructions, and he said that we would be fully informed as the talks go on and as any steps are taken.
If the committee so chose, Mr. Chair, to make a formal request, of course, we would cooperate with the committee as far as staff representation and reporting are concerned.
