I'll make three quick points.
The first is that Canada was the driving force behind the World Trade Organization, which of course was founded after the Second World War. It now has over 150 members. If you're looking for a good bang for your buck, it would be in upgrading and pushing the multilateral trading system toward a reset and a reorientation.
Building on that, the Bali ministerial conference is coming up in Indonesia at the beginning of December. Our group, the Canadian Council of Chief Executives, has joined with other business organizations to support a trade facilitation agreement that would reduce customs and border procedures for all exporters, firms of all sizes. We hope the Canadian government, which has been very active in this area of trade facilitation, can really help us bring that over the line at Bali, so we can perhaps have at least one substantive outcome at the WTO over 2013-14.
Third, I would say it would be interesting to explore the Pacific Alliance. This is a group with whom we already have an extensive network of free trade agreements. Whatever hurdles are in place between Canada and joining the Pacific Alliance, I'd suggest, would be a fruitful line of inquiry.
Thank you.
