Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
That actually defies description. Let's carry on.
I'd like to thank our guests for being here today.
As a member of the committee for the last 18 or 19 months, I find it interesting that this is the first time I've been involved when the deal has not been signed and we're talking after the fact. I think this is quite useful and helpful. So thank you all for doing this.
I have a few very quick questions, because time is limited. One thing I'm interested in really ties into issues of mobility, but from a couple of perspectives.
Canada has had some issues in the past with visas around the world--Mexico being one, Slovakia being another. To the extent that we have some challenges with some of the member states of the EU, does this deal touch on that at all? Is our sovereign right as a country still intact to be able to refuse automatic entry as a result of this, with respect to abuse?
I'm not sure who would take that question. I'm just trying to get a sense...
Mr. Plunkett.
