Thank you.

Let me test out some specifics. In our trade relationships, we now have you as the permanent observer at the AU.

Should Canada pursue a free trade agreement with the free trade bloc through the AU, or should Canada pursue specific free trade agreements with countries where there's a fit, a synergy? Then, within some sort of a focused strategy, let's put some deliverables like 10 countries, if we choose a second row. What would be your comment on that?
