I'd like to underscore that the primary responsibility rests with the private sector. I love that as the spirit. I know we would carry that forward as a committee, believing it on the whole, I hope.
One of our members opposite talked about FIPA. I'm wondering, Mr. Stephenson, whether that should be a “side by each”, or why it wasn't part of the original deal so that members could debate. If I understand correctly, the Canada-Jordan FIPA was actually signed in June 2009 and came into force in December 2009. What has to happen for it to be ratified is that it has to sit in the House for a period of 21 sitting days. If I'm correct, it's usually common that a FIPA agreement not be signed at the same time as an FTA, if there's already one in place.
Is my understanding on that correct?
