As you know, the agreement has been signed. It is subject to a 21-day review period, after which, as a parliamentarian, you will have an opportunity to debate the issue if you feel that it is necessary to do so, Mr. Crête. You will also note that pursuant to this agreement, that country must abide by the provisions of the enabling legislation, provisions that are obviously recognized internationally, for example, matters relating to labour and existing benefits. My colleague, the Minister for International Trade, will be in charge of the file. He is the one who will be answering that question.
