First, in terms of enforcing the borders, I have to rely on my colleague, Peter Van Loan, in his responsibilities. I found our addition to the 301 list inaccurate and unfortunate on the part of the Americans. We're on the same list as a lot of countries that do a lot worse than we do and have a lot more nefarious actors in them who are assaulting intellectual property than is the case in Canada. I think it's not an accurate portrayal of the Canadian situation. But having said that, we are committed to new legislation. I'm going to be engaging in consultations this summer with respect to that legislation. Here's hoping we can find something we can all agree with, because this has been a snakepit for Parliament for a number of years. Quite frankly, nothing has gotten through in 10 to 15 years on this. Maybe something will change now.
