Thank you very much, Mr. Chair., and welcome, boys.
You're on the ground. You know what's going on around the sea. You have a good understanding. There are always things going on that you have to be careful of, and it is not the fault of any particular government. I just want to say that. But all governments have to be careful of what takes place in the deals that are made.
I just want to bring this up to the committee, and I am sure you understand. It's the Doha Round of the WTO. In my opinion, we have to be very, very careful here, and I would like any of you to expand on it.
In the Doha Round, if anything were definitely not acceptable, it was a red light issue. If it was discussable, it was a yellow. If it was passable, it was green.
In the Doha Round, EI, the capital gains tax exemption, the small craft harbours repair program, and even the gas tax card that you have were all red light issues. That means that if that deal were signed and the rules were followed, you would lose those programs.
Would you like to comment on that?
