Ask yourself that question; it's serious. I'm not joking with the question; I'm very serious. At some point, if we do nothing on the ground that we have an agreement... Would the agreement have the effect of killing off a global industry of a country, an industry that has 825,000 workers? If that's the case, pardon me, but we'll have to consider whether an agreement must take precedence over the very basis of an industry's existence. We have serious questions to consider.
