That's pretty simple.
I think the other issue I have is more of another macro-issue, if you will. It's the general effect of a free trade agreement on Canada's competitiveness and in particular on our competiveness in the western hemisphere. We've signed five free trade agreements since NAFTA, I think, including NAFTA. The U.S. has signed 20-plus, Mexico has signed 40-plus, and Chile has signed 50-plus. We're being left out of the market and left out of the economy if we don't play some catch-up ball here, to use a worn-out sports analogy.
I would worry a lot more about what would happen to our economy if we continue not to be a player. Compared to the rest of the world, we've generally taken very modest steps in looking at free trade agreements in the last 15 years. If our economy's going to continue to flourish and continue to grow, we need to have free trade agreements. We need to be able to compete with Colombia on an equal footing.
The last time I checked, our farmers in western Canada need to sell wheat, because if you can't sell it, there's no point in growing it. It's as simple as that. And if there's a 15% tariff on wheat, then we're leaving ourselves out of a marketplace that for all intents and purposes is a burgeoning marketplace with great potential--and furthermore, with great potential for the people of Colombia, as tough as things are. There's still violence and there's still not the society we would like to see, but in comparison....
I only have a few Colombian friends, and they left Colombia because of violence as teenagers. Now all of a sudden they're looking at Colombia in a totally different light, having been educated abroad. A number of them married people abroad and are not liable to go back, but there is opportunity in Colombia again today. That's something we didn't see in the past for probably more than a decade. Is that too general? I'm making a statement more than a question, but I think those statistics are important.
