Thank you, Mr. Chair. Good morning, gentlemen.
My first question is for Mr. Harder.
In your presentation, you said that the hub is a non-controversial element that can maximize trade while minimizing costs for Canadian businesses. You also referred to the bilateral 2012 study in which the Chinese government said it was interested in developing free trade with Canada, but that the Canadian government has not wanted to do so.
In your opinion, which conditions are not being met right now and are in the way of a free trade agreement with China?
