First off, on the international policy statement, it's not my primary mandate to deal with that, other than the trade-related component. I would say this: we are not contemplating any fundamental changes or rethinking. What we're looking at is assessing within that policy statement what our priorities ought to be.
We may look at some adjustments in terms of which countries ought to be in what priority and in relation to what particular type of negotiation, but by and large I would say we are looking at continuity from the international policy statement that was in place before. Any changes, I would think, would be largely incremental, and we would be communicating them with Parliament, through this committee, for example.
I would just also say that with respect to trade negotiations generally, WTO and bilaterals, I'm perfectly willing to have our officials come and give complete briefings, as complete as they can give them subject to the fact that these negotiations are constantly in motion. Things are constantly changing. We are prepared to be as open as we possibly can and make sure that we are not springing anything on Parliament without some buildup of communications.
I think the Conservative government is also committed to a relatively forthcoming involvement of Parliament in international treaties. That, of course, is subject to some better definition, but I understand, as a general matter, our party is committed to an involvement of Parliament in treaties.
