Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
One would assume that to the European Union, access to the American market is just as important and attractive. Would you say that the fact that Canada is a member of NAFTA and has to respect the rules of origin is an additional asset for the European Union to sign an agreement with Canada? In other words, because we respect the rules of origin, can we expect that the Europeans will make significant investments here, specifically in leading sectors or high value-added sectors like the auto industry and green energy? If they were to invest in Canada, would that not serve as a springboard to access the American market? Would this be a potential strategy for them, and are we going to promote that as a major asset for Canada?
My question is for Mr. Verheul.
