Certainly, we believe we have enough protections in the EFTA agreement to protect the industry. If untoward trade issues come forward that, in our view, violate the spirit and the intent of this agreement, then obviously we can restore the tariffs that are currently in place.

The funny thing about the NDP, Mr. Chair, is that they always look at the downside; they never look at the upside. I would encourage you to be more enthusiastic and supportive of our industry and how we can compete with the world.
