I'd also like to give my appreciation to all of the officials who are here from the department. Thank you for taking time out of your schedules to be here with us. We really appreciate the good information that you're giving us today and that I am sure you will continue to give us in further meetings.
Being that Canada has really only completed one free trade deal since 1997, while other countries, the United States and Australia, have.... Can you give us perhaps your opinion as to why you think Canada has not done so in the past? Also, there are many rumours out there about a free trade agreement with Korea, some media reports indicating that we're very close and also some media reports indicating that there are some issues with shipbuilding and the auto industry. I was hoping that you could clarify that for us and give us some specific details.
