Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses.
I think I'll start with you, Ms. Mainville, because you mentioned some of the international agreements, but I invite any other witness to chime in.
With regard to how we deal with international regulations, would we be wiser to start with a more comprehensive partnership in a trade agreement—say, for example, the U.S.-Canada-Mexico agreement—or should we look towards Europe? There could be a practice, at the end of the day, to try to negotiate some of the standard regulations through trade agreements. Aside from that, we would have to be going it alone on this, which could take a long time to do.
I'm just wondering what your thoughts are on that. Is it something for which we should be focusing on setting an example with one trading bloc partner, whether that has European elements or it is domestic or closer to home? In Canada and the United States, we have a lot of integrated industries—such as where I'm from, with the auto industry, for example—for which there are standard regulations. When they're out of whack, it's easier to deal with them individually than it is to deal with more complex issues.
