I would suggest that in any case where we're looking at our relationship with a particular trading partner, and a number of countries are looking at improving their trade relations, if we get in there first we're going to have an advantage. I think in particular here there's an opportunity for Canadian companies and Canadian farmers, agricultural exporters in particular, to gain in export over their American counterparts if we get in there first.
