I think that is in fact what is happening. The degree of relationship that exists between the U.S., Canada, and Mexico is really very great. There might be some issues, but as far as the executives go, the relationship between trade ministers is excellent.
I would agree completely with what Mr. Jacobson said. NAFTA is a base, a platform, and TPP is an ideal opportunity to upgrade it and to bring it to 4.0. As he mentioned, electronic commerce was simply not an issue, pharmaceuticals were not an issue, labour standards, environmental standards, those were not issues. It's the best way to upgrade it and it's the best way to bring it up to date.
We're confident. If it were up to the executives, we would have TPP by the end of the year. We hope that Congress will go along. It will not be perfect, but we don't want one that's too diluted. If it's too diluted, then it's useless. It has to be something that is meaningful, three steps forward. Then we have to work on convergence because there is a problem between our agreements with Europe, the agreements with the east, and our agreements within. There has to be some degree of convergence, particularly in rules of origin, and we can pull that together.
I'm as optimistic as Mr. Jacobson.
