Thank you for the question.
I think this is a very important issue for all financial services. It's very important that we get access to these markets, if we want our companies to have opportunities to expand, to operate effectively, and to be able to use that head office expertise I talked about earlier.
One of the concerns we have with the Doha negotiations is that the focus tends to be on agriculture and some manufacturing activity, and the services sector has been given less consideration in the debate. We want to encourage all of those in the federal government who are involved—and we are doing this internationally with our colleagues in other services sectors—to ensure we have a meaningful participation of services, and financial services, in this round of negotiations.
So we think it's vital for the Canadian economy. As we talk about our economy evolving and services becoming an increasingly important part of it, if we still want to be internationally active, we need to be pushing a strong services agreement in Doha and in bilateral agreements.
