Sir, that is a question in several parts.
First of all, we are working very hard on the major emerging markets and the markets in which there is explosive growth—particularly Asia—and we're doing that just like everybody else on the planet. We are, we hope, making progress in all markets, and in particular with the study that was done jointly with India that recommends that we move forward with a free trade agreement negotiation with India. We hope that will bring us success with regard to that market.
We also have a new process, that was launched by the Prime Minister, with China, a working group established under a joint economic and trade committee that is intended to look for opportunities for expanding that relationship as well. As is stated in the global commerce strategy, those major markets--large, rapidly expanding markets--are the first priority. In the meantime, you try to make progress where you can, and the agreement before you is a case in point.
With regard to the impasse we have been at for some time with Singapore, the position being taken by Singapore on a variety of offensive interests—you know, Canada's principal commercial interests in those negotiations—has essentially put us in a place where moving forward in the absence of movement on the Singaporean side would not leave us with an agreement of sufficient value to make the concessions they're looking for on our side.
We're hopeful that may change at one point, that we'll find a way to move forward. In the meantime, if it's not the right deal, you don't do it.
