Thank you, Mr. Chair.
We're going to give you our questions straight off the top, and then you can answer. If we run out of time, we really would appreciate the answers in writing, if that's possible.
First, I want to reiterate our minister's position on this. He has said many times very clearly that these negotiations are in very early stages, contrary to what one of you—I'm not sure which one—said in the comment about its being so far down the path. It is still early in negotiations; that perhaps is why we don't have a lot of the analysis we're still looking for.
I wanted to talk a little about several Canadian companies that have already started to do business in Korea. We have parts maker Linamar in Guelph, which now has an assembly plant there. At least one member of the Forest Products Association of Canada already has a joint venture in Korea, and they believe this proposed free trade agreement offers an opportunity to ensure the best protection for Canadian investment in Korea. I also met with a separate forestry stakeholder yesterday who has a plant in Korea. They raised the same benefit from the potential FTA. Potato growers are also looking to get into the Far East markets. There is a huge market for potatoes there, but there seem to be a lot of barriers that include tariffs and red tape.
Mr. McCreery, who was here on Monday, talked a lot about...and I think, Alanna, you may have even said something about 91% of our agriculture being involved in exports. If a deal were to be struck that allows our agriculture producers full access under FTA, what would that mean for Canadian agriculture?
