Thank you, Mr. Epp.
Honourable member, the quick answer to your question is no.
It's necessary to understand what this trade co-operation framework arrangement is. First and foremost, it's effectively a modalities document. For easy comparison, you can take a look at what the U.K. and Taiwan accomplished. It's a very similar kind of structure. It basically sets out process, architecture, contact points and those kinds of elements. The arrangement, similar to what the U.K. did, sets out to articulate a vision for basically the commencement of supplementary arrangements that could move forward.
In that regard, some of the interest you expressed with respect to l'économie verte, digital and issues like that—I think you specifically mentioned artificial intelligence—could very much be captured in our work with Taiwan, and it has been a part of our work anyway. Weldon could probably articulate more in terms of the CTEC process. It's a long-standing arrangement we have with Taiwan to look at these types of issues.
I would say our work with Taiwan has continued all throughout 2025 and 2026. We've been talking to them about issues pertaining to the global trading environment. We ourselves are very much cognizant of some of the issues related to supply chain resiliency and their agreement with the U.S., which was just concluded in February. All of these issues are part of the same mix.
