There are already a lot of companies doing trade with the EU. I think with CETA,they will open up new opportunities for other companies to participate.
I think the problem that is coming out.... Maybe I can address your question a different way by making a statement. I find personally that Canadian business people are lax to get involved with a new agreement and pay attention to a new agreement until the deal is done. They're not really lining up to come and hear about CETA. But I can say that from the time of the CETA beginning to now, there has been a lot more interest. We see that in the number of participants in our meetings. Initially we were looking at 20 to 40, then 40 to 60, and now recently, when we had the delegation from Europe and the seven members of Parliament, there were maybe 140 people.
There was a one-hour complete business in a closed room in the Marriott Courtyard in Toronto, where people were sitting up theatre style and paying attention to real business. Then we had the reception following that. The same with the TD VP on October 13, when we had really a good question: has the European crisis had an impact on CETA? Essentially, from the banker's perspective, he was saying that the markets have a huge thirst for hope. I think it's common for everyone. He was also saying that the Canadian economy will continue to grow as long as the merchant markets and other markets keep buying our oil and gas, minerals, and agrifood products. The western provinces are expected to lead the economic growth parade. He was also saying something that I really enjoy hearing: that the interest rates will remain low, at least until 2013.
