Thank you for your response, sir.
Mr. Stewart-Patterson, you said in your comments, and Mr. Boutziouvis said in his, “if we don't ratify this deal”. I don't sense there is the political will to not ratify this deal. I come back from the standpoint of how long it takes to get this. Here I look at this and we have been at this over ten years now and we're trying to do a broader European free trade arrangement and it just seems that we're stuck in neutral on a few points. Frankly, they are key points, but we're stuck in neutral and we've got to move this forward. If we have any hope, as free traders, of moving this forward we've got to be able to deal with four countries that represent almost $13 billion of two-way business. I'm just challenged by how much time it takes to get that far.
This will be my final quick question. How crucial is it that we do this fast--and I say fast, but this has not been fast--that we do this now?
