Again, I think there has to be a dose of reality here. We didn't make any significant inroads. The U.S. did not make any significant concessions, despite the major effort and high priority that Canada put on this deal. This is not a new story. There were additional negotiations under the WTO, the government procurement agreement at the sub-federal level, and under NAFTA at the sub-federal level. Canada's position up until now has been that without genuine reciprocity we are not prepared to make these commitments, whether it's to sacrifice our policy flexibility or to give away the negotiating coinage.
At this moment in time, I honestly think it would be more astute for our Canadian consulates in the United States to be turning down the temperature a little bit. Even when Buy American preferences are applied, up to, in many cases, 50% of the content can be foreign. In many cases, Canadians are subcontractors in these deals. Over the decades that these policies have been in place, our companies have done a good job of adjusting to them. I don't think they pose the threat that some people seem to believe to the overall health of Canada-U.S. trade relations. That's certainly President Obama's perspective and I think the perspective of most members of Congress.
