You indicated in your testimony, Mr. Plunkett, that Panama currently has already put this through their legislature. They have signed off on this deal. What is their urgency? I could imagine what Canada would see as our benefits, and I'm sure members of this committee around the table see the great benefits for Canada in all of this. My question to you then is why the urgency from Panama? Why have they moved as quickly as it appears to me? I hope we'll do the same, but could you explain that to us, please?
