Thank you very much for coming out. Today's the last day we'll be here. I'm glad it worked out that we had an opportunity to hear what you had to say, and also have an opportunity to ask questions.
We all agree, and I think there's recognition in this committee, that we want to promote free trade but also want to make sure it's fair trade. We also recognize the importance of the manufacturing sector and its role in the Canadian economy, and the impact it has on certain sectors that are going through some very difficult times right now. Based on that, we've decided to undertake this study with South Korea.
My first question to all of you is, have any of you been consulted or asked for submissions, or been asked to provide your input by the negotiating team or by the government that's currently pursuing the free trade agreement with South Korea?
