Thank you for the question. It's a tough one, but it's a good one.
It's very important that Canada is at the table on these negotiations, particularly on sensitive products, which is where the problems are. It's not enough to just be at the table. We have to be there as a country, with credible views and ideas on going forward. My concern right now is that we've lost credibility.
In terms of the Canadian government's position on sensitive products, I think the July 2004 framework was very clear in saying that all products, including sensitive products, would experience substantial increases in market access. Every other country signed on to that document, and I believe they're living by it. Canada signed on to that document and has stepped back from it. I think we are very much isolated at this point with the position we've taken.
It is very important that the market access issue is resolved. It's holding up the other negotiations, and there is a lot more to these negotiations than sensitive products. There are domestic support issues and export competition issues. Until we resolve this issue, we can't get at the big dollars and the big opportunities that are there for our exporters.
On sensitive products, to use a canola-specific example, India is one of the world's largest consumers of vegetable oil in the world. We cannot get into that market with our highest high-quality canola oil product. We are facing a 75% tariff going into the market, and we can't get over it. We know that India will declare vegetable oil as sensitive; they told us that. If we get nothing on sensitive products, we can kiss India goodbye. It's a huge opportunity that we would miss.
