Good morning.
Good morning, Ambassador.
First, let me give my appreciation to you for the incredible job you have done, along with Minister Emerson, in achieving what is a great deal for Canada and a great deal for Canada's industry. I very much appreciate your dedication to this file.
I also think it's appropriate that we point out here that you offered to be before our committee. We appreciate your offering to be here. But we did in fact ask the former ambassador, Mr. McKenna, to come forward, which he declined. I just want to point out that some of my Liberal colleagues across the way often like to talk about the non-deal they had and brag about it being so much better. I just think perhaps Mr. McKenna would have liked the opportunity to come before us to brag about the non-deal that he had not achieved, if it were so good.
I'll leave it at that.
