Thank you very much, I appreciate the clarification.
Mr. Beatty, I know it seems like such a long time ago since we started our committee meeting, but you raised a very interesting point with respect to interprovincial trade barriers. I wanted to get your thoughts on the British Columbia-Alberta Trade, Investment and Labour Mobility Agreement, which was signed between those two provinces last year.
One of the objectives that we believe in--I think the government is on track with it, and the minister has stated this--is that these interprovincial trade barriers need to come down. Those types of issues need to be resolved. And most clearly indicative of the effect of these barriers is that our North American free trade act actually positions us better to deal with the United States and Mexico than provinces can deal with other provinces.
I wanted to just get your thoughts on that from a small business perspective.
