Mr. MacKay, if I might, just before you begin, and I appreciate the position you're in....
Mr. Julian, I think we did discuss that, as you say, at the last meeting, and I don't think it was expected that these particular witnesses would need to comment on the details of negotiation. I simply want to remind you that it is an ongoing negotiation. These meetings are not private. We are in a negotiation, and I think in the interests of our country's position, there are things they may not want to discuss.
I don't mean to put words in your mouth, Mr. MacKay. I just don't want you to feel that all the details of the ongoing negotiations need to be discussed at this meeting.
Thank you.
