Thank you, Mr. Chair. Good afternoon to all the witnesses. Thank you for being here.
Mr. Stephenson, you said that two-way trade between Canada and Jordan totalled around $80 million. We are talking about a small market, which causes us to wonder why we should even enter into a free trade agreement.
On the flip side, at least twice, you mentioned the fact that Jordan was a moderate country and a promoter of peace in the Middle East. Is that something that was actually examined? Do you discuss that with Jordan before signing an agreement like this?
