In different ways both of you have mentioned checks and balances in our continental relationship. One issue you brought up was the original rejection by Canada of participation in the ballistic missile defence. More current today—and we may hear more about that tomorrow in the defence policy review and the decision one way or the other—would be to re-engage in our continental as well international defence treaties.
With regard to the government's pursuit of a free trade agreement with China, which the U.S. administration and President seem to see as the opening of a wider back door for dumping Chinese product in the United States, I'd like your comment on the advisability of either pausing the pursuit of this free trade agreement, which seems to be going ahead faster than anything else at the moment, or pausing to see how the renegotiation of NAFTA begins and seems to be setting a course.
