I'd like to answer with a couple of quite specific examples.
We get no warning when the next document is going to be in play. Over the weekend we received the U.S. draft. Monday night we received the annexes. We were told to have our analysis in by yesterday at noon We were given an extension until noon today. Since I had to be on a plane to come here, I left the office at 1 o'clock in the morning while writing an analysis of the U.S. terms and red-lining the terms and the annexes, with no warning, and with a few other things perhaps on my schedule to do. That's happening to every lawyer in Washington. There's no warning, and there're 24-hour fire drills. Now how good is what I produced? I have no idea, because I never proofread it; I never went back and looked at it. I pushed all the buttons for e-mail at 1 in the morning, and they were gone.
As part of the rush, last week in the U.S. Court of International Trade in New York, the counsel for the Coalition for Fair Lumber Imports told the panel of three judges that he understood that it was an undertaking that this deal would be done by June 15 and be signed. He certainly gave the impression that there was a promise made by the Government of Canada to the Government of the United States. More knowledgeable than all the Canadian counsel in the room, he announced that this House would rise on June 26 and that there must be legislation that goes through the House to complete the deal.
