First of all, I think that the message of both governments, American and Canadian, is clear: the agreement as such has been signed, and can never be reopened. So we are looking for a comfort zone so that we do not get tangled up in the interpretation of details, since this would hinder implementation of the agreement. We would definitely like a letter or a memo providing us with the desired explanations and also the desired comfort zone.
