I share your concerns, absolutely, and I think it should be taken off the table. The discussion is about what “no” means. Does “no” mean something different in Canada than outside of Canada, and how is that being interpreted? In this room we've heard that no means no, but internationally, no doesn't seem to mean no. No means let other countries change the text, let them take the brackets off the text. We don't complain. We don't go to those people and say no, Canada will not accept this and let's just move on.
I'm absolutely convinced, without evidence that I can provide to the table, that other countries around the world would respect Canada for that position and say they actually support our position in a lot of these cases. But they need to hear it from us. They need to hear it from Canada. They are not going to get up on their own and advocate the retention of Canadian programs, because they represent other countries. The minute Canada actually shows some forcefulness on the international scene, I'm convinced these other countries will say yes, let's move on.
