Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to everyone for your presentations today.
I'm going to go through pretty rapid-fire just so I get to as many as I can, and unfortunately I won't be able to get to everyone.
I'll go to Mr. Paterson first. Mr. Paterson, I'm going to give you a lousy analogy. Oftentimes if the economy is viewed as a stage and a production that's going on, I believe the government should set the stage and let actors like GM and other Canadian companies run the production, because government is usually a lousy actor.
I want to talk to you specifically about the Trans-Pacific Partnership. You said we should be building the technology. We may not end up installing it. You mentioned intellectual property. Intellectual property provisions in TPP, I believe, with a wide variety of countries, would allow greater protections for Canadian companies operating in those areas. Would you agree with that?
