There are a number of things. First is the element of the agreement that provides for negotiations commencing this calendar year on a deeper, more significant, hopefully broader, agreement on government procurement, obviously taking it beyond the 37 states captured under the WTO permanent provisions that are there now.
We are currently in a process of working with the provinces on laying the groundwork for that negotiation. Again, as I said, these are broadly provincial-territorial obligations that we are talking about, so it would be inappropriate for the federal government to act without acting in concert with the provinces and territories on that. We're identifying the game plan and the groundwork issues for that negotiation to take place. Hopefully we will have our negotiating position fairly well set in a number of months so we can start that process.
Second, we are obviously working to ensure that we don't see Buy American provisions like this come along in future legislation that threatens the United States.... We've had some success with that. We are continuing to remain vigilant. We have certainly made ourselves known to the administration and to members of the Senate and Congress about our concerns.
The Waxman-Markey bill is one that passed the House of Representatives. It is now at the Senate, which has implications. There are no Buy American provisions in it. There are a couple of other bills that we thought might see Buy American provisions: Maria Cantwell's bill, the cap and dividend system, doesn't have it; and the Bingham energy bill doesn't have Buy American provisions. We are continuing to watch the items of legislation that come through and to make interventions where necessary to protect Canada's interests.
