Maybe I can just add to that a little bit, about the measures of success.
What we're going for with Colombia--we do this with all of our free trade agreements--is to look for a comprehensive, ambitious FTA that creates new opportunities for Canadian businesses doing business abroad. Reciprocally, of course, our trading partner is looking for opportunities here. We want to level the playing field with respect to that country's other trading partners, particularly those with whom they have preferential trading agreements, such as the United States in the case of Colombia.
We're trying to build on multilateral commitments. That is to say, take the WTO commitments that we have all made with respect to trade in goods and liberalization of services, etc., and build on those. Expand on them in the case of investment, for example, which isn't covered by the WTO. Ultimately the measure of success, broadly speaking, is are Canadians--that is to say, Canadian businesses, private citizens, SMEs, big businesses, NGOs that have a varying range of concerns about our FTA agenda--broadly satisfied with what we've negotiated?
We can never make everyone happy all the time, but we do our best. The ultimate measure of success is when we submit the FTA that we as officials have negotiated with this other country. When we submit it to the government, then on to Parliament, to the members of this committee and the other members of Parliament, to pass the bill to implement the FTA, it ultimately comes back to you to decide if we have achieved what Canada should have achieved in this negotiation.
