Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I will be brief, in order to leave some time for my colleague.
You have a significant number of trade commissioners in various parts of the world. The figure you gave was 700, if I am not mistaken. You say that you want to focus on the multilateral track, but at the same time you are engaged in a frantic race on the bilateral track. Other than the United States, which has just brought in a new political order, what is the state of our trade with countries with which we do not currently have an agreement, as well as with those we do have an agreement with?
What is the status of negotiations with the European Union, which could lead to a free trade agreement?
With respect to the shipbuilding industry, it is a fact that Norway has received a lot of subsidies. We also know that the 15-year period may be a precedent, but it might also have been a precedent to completely exclude the shipbuilding industry.
What plans does Industry Canada have to make the shipbuilding industry competitive, not including procurement?
