I understand.

I will now turn to Ms. Dufour.

Thank you for your testimony. I now have a better understanding of why granting a waiver to Canada would violate World Trade Organization rules.

As I understand it, a waiver could be obtained by negotiating a new chapter in the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement. I believe that Canada and the United States have the right to enter into a bilateral agreement. So it would be possible to get a waiver by negotiating a new chapter.

Is that correct?
