Thank you very much, Mr. Chair, and thank you very much to all the witnesses for coming.
I've got to tell you, as a horsemeat, radish, and french fry-loving guy, I think we should look into this free trade agreement a little bit more.
As my colleague said, this is really the first time I've heard about this particular free trade agreement. I thank you very much for coming here and bringing it to our attention.
Do you have any ideas? Coming from Oshawa, I'm very much aware of the Korean free trade agreement, and what the auto sector is saying about that. I also want you to know that I've spoken to the ministers involved, and if it's not a fair trade agreement, they certainly don't want to make a bad agreement for Canada.
I have one question about that. Do you have any ideas that you can submit about a free trade agreement that would make it a fairer trade agreement, for example, in the dispute mechanisms and these non-tariff barriers you mentioned? That's one question I had for you.
The second question was that the new government has announced a defence procurement of $13 billion. I was wondering what that does for you, and if you have any ideas for the strategy as that unfolds.
The third thing I wanted to talk about is that I hear what you're saying about getting very aggressive about the CCA, and I agree with you very much. When we have these surpluses, we see it as an overtaxation, and we'd like to see the money stay with the companies and the people who create jobs.
You mentioned the skill-building idea that you had for non-taxable categories for employee incentives, and the health and wellness thing. I was wondering if you could expand on that, because I think those are very good ideas.
Those are my three questions for whoever would like to start.
