Good afternoon.
I'm going to continue along somewhat the same lines as my colleague. Of course, as you know, this Canada-Korea trade is a concern for a lot of people, particularly those working in the manufacturing and automotive industries.
In 2005, the automotive industry produced statistics showing that Korea had sold 130,000 vehicles in Canada, whereas Canada had sold 400 vehicles in Korea. That's a very different profitability ratio.
There are also other elements. They managed to conduct quite a detailed assessment of the impact of the bilateral agreement with Korea. But I didn't see any documents in your report clearly showing our gains and losses on balance. You gave some figures on the subject—I heard them—but we're lacking details and perspective to reassure the public.
Our manufacturing sector is currently in crisis. We mustn't enter into an agreement that would put that sector at an even greater disadvantage. So there's major concern in that regard.
In addition, Minister Emerson told us that, if there were an agreement between Korea and the United States, we'd have trouble subsequently securing an agreement with Korea. The agreement would be less warranted, less useful or less important, because the needs would already have been met.
I would like to hear your comments on that subject.
