I have two questions and then I'll cede the rest of my time to Mr. Aboultaif.

To begin, I'd like to go beyond the bilateral and trilateral negotiations of NAFTA and get your reaction, response, and perspective on some of the words of concern and warning from the U.S. administration, from the White House, and from Congress about Canada's negotiation of, on one hand, a free trade agreement with China, which has caused great concern in the United States for several reasons, but also the TPP.

Is that likely to affect the negotiations that either of your sectors anticipate with the United States and Mexico?
