Thank you very much, Chair.
I want to thank the witnesses for coming before the committee.
It's nice to see the range of views on this particular discussion we're having on SPP. As you know, we're trying to study trade and investment between Canada and the United States. Mr. Pépin mentioned the SPP is a treaty. My understanding is that it's not a treaty or an accord. I think it was very well described by you, Ms. Healy, as NAFTA-plus. It's an additional framework that works on top of NAFTA to help with integration matters.
I think there is a recognition that people have expressed concerns around accountability and transparency, hence why we're having these meetings. I think it's a step in the right direction.
These are televised meetings, so not only are they exclusively for the members here but also for the public who have access to television and can view these meetings as well. I think there's an effort being made here to make this as open and public as possible in terms of parliamentary oversight.
I just want to confirm who is being consulted. I know that the Canadian Trucking Alliance has been consulted and has been part of the discussions. Is that correct?
