You've identified the two issues that Ambassador Heyman and his predecessor, Ambassador Jacobson, feel that we've gone some distance on but not far enough, namely, supply management and intellectual property, particularly as it relates to patent protection. They feel we're out of kilter with where they are and the Europeans are, for example.
But I would say, on supply management, the Americans have some distance to go as well. My own view on supply management is that we should look at this as an opportunity. I think we're looking at it through the wrong end of the telescope.
I was a member of the team that negotiated the Canada-U.S. Free Trade Agreement. We heard many of the same arguments at that time that we would not be able to compete, from our wine industry and, as I remember it, one particular manufacturer, Lee Valley Tools. Today Lee Valley Tools sells 80% of what they produce in the United States, and our wine industry is doing extremely well. I'm convinced that our artisanal cheeses, in particular the 300 varieties produced in Quebec, can be world beaters. But we need to look at it from the right end of the telescope.
