I just want to correct a comment. I said that complete tariff elimination would not provide much of a kick to the Canadian economy. I think that is undoubtedly true.
I'm glad that you've raised the issue of jobs. There was a study done in 2009, before the fall of the euro against the Canadian dollar. It was a study that predicted a $12-billion boost to the Canadian economy. Somehow, certain spokespersons translated that into the creation of 80,000 new jobs in Canada.
I don't know what the methodology was, but I want to say that the computable general equilibrium study assumed full employment on both sides. To get an 80,000 figure is economically illiterate and indefensible. I think the committee should be studying that.
