Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I'm going to comment directly on what Mr. Cannis just said. If people sometimes oppose free trade treaties, it's not because they're necessarily opposed to trade, but because they're considering something other than just trade liberalization. There's the entire aspect of respect for human and workers' rights. With respect to Panama, there's also the matter of the tax treaty, money laundering and tax evasion in particular.
First, I have a question to ask you, Ms. Nott. In your introduction, you referred to a special economic area in Panama. Are you referring to a tax system that is advantageous for Canadian businesses?
