Thank you, Mr. Chair.
You understand that our questions are intended to reassure people and to tie up all the loose ends. We do not want any nasty surprises. Nor do we want to realize, after agreeing to this, that we have forgotten to look into something. We might realize that our main economic partners in Asia are not happy and are also surprised. If we are fortunate enough to ratify the Trans-Pacific Partnership and what you are asking us to do today makes it null and void, we would not be pleased, to say the least.
Let's cross a continent now and talk about Israel. First of all, you said that this will update agreements dating from 1975. Does that mean that there have been no updates in the trading relationship between Canada and Israel since 1975?
