What I'm being told here is that in 2005, when UNITE HERE Canada petitioned the trade tribunal, the tribunal had asked you to establish and demonstrate that you had the support of the Canadian domestic industry before proceeding with an inquiry. The reports say they had asked for further data indicating domestic support, and you were only able to provide two letters from small domestic producers.
I'm hoping you can help clarify that for me if perhaps it was different, because having only two letters from small domestic producers really isn't helping your case. Why are you not able to give us further data indicating this domestic support that would allow us to proceed to the process that you'd like to see us proceed to?
I also want to point out that I am told it is less than 1% of the Canadian apparel industry that has made requests to the government. Have there been further requests that perhaps I'm not being advised of? If you can clarify that for me, I'd appreciate it.
What do you have to say about this, which has been pointed out to me as a fact? It says here that for Canada, it appears that the major result of quota elimination has been that the Chinese apparel imports have replaced imports from other developing countries that previously enjoyed a guaranteed market share under the previous quota regime. So if you'd care to comment on the reality of that for me, I'd appreciate it.
