It did. We got a short-term benefit for two smaller industries and we sacrificed a much larger one in which we predominated in the world, that being the auto sector. That was a net result of the actual decision we went through with NAFTA. We lost that element and we had short-term victories for that. I guess that's what I'm worried about: what other casualties could be out there.
You mentioned transition periods for industries in your comments. What are those industries, specifically, where we need to look at those things?
I'm just suggesting we have to look at this with eyes wide open. Once again, we negotiated those access markets and we had a surprise. By your own words, you were surprised by the furniture industry and the suit industry. It wasn't something we expected as we negotiated. We actually left the door open to destroying one of the most successful manufacturing agreements that we had with our largest trading partner, that being the Auto Pact.
I'm interested in those industries you're saying need that transition, because we need to ameliorate those expenses. I think there is a responsibility. If you build a successful company in Canada and the government changes the rules, then you need to have at least some transition or at least some support to be able to meet the new market demands and the challenges the government has now introduced to your business plan, which you didn't have prior to that.
