Actually, our message has always been consistent, and it is that we should use procurement policies as a strategic tool to develop our economy. In this specific case, with this deal with the Americans, what we're saying is that most of the time it makes more sense for us to guarantee other countries access to our procurement markets if we can get the same type of access to their markets. There are so many more business opportunities to be found in other markets than there are in Canada. Canada is, by and large, a fairly small economy, if you look at our size on a global scale. What we're saying is that if you want to use procurement strategically, in most cases it makes more sense, if we get reciprocal access to another market, to give another market access to our market in exchange for reciprocal concessions.
In cases where trade rules cannot be enforced effectively, or in cases where you cannot find such a reciprocal agreement.... That was the case made in the paper we released a couple of years ago. There's a very specific sector related to mass transit and highway construction where we haven't had access for years. What we're saying is that it's important, because we're losing business as a result of it. What's our strategy to address it? Obviously, our goal should be to open that market. It should always be to try to open new markets for us. In case we're not able to get those concessions, we should look at what we can do to use procurement as a strategic policy tool here within Canada.
I hope that answers your question.
