It's the story of my life. When it gets to me, it always has to be brief.
I know I'm late in welcoming you to Canada, Deputy Minister. It's a cold time to be here. In my hometown of Montreal, there's a major snowstorm, so I hope on the way home you're not going through Montreal.
You mentioned the City of Knowledge. As it happens, I will be going there in two weeks' time on another objective I'm pursuing apart from free trade. I'm certainly looking forward to travelling around Panama.
The question I have to ask you stems from some of the remarks you've made.
You've talked at length about agriculture. Of course, that makes sense, given the kinds of agricultural goods that Panama exports all over the world, and particularly to North America. You've talked very little about industrial goods. I wondered whether you might want to talk about the kinds of industrial goods...the kind of market that would open to Canadian industry in terms of this free trade agreement.
My question is quite short.
