Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I thank the witnesses for being here. My questions will be addressed to Mr. Fisker.
I must say, sir, that I found it interesting to hear you speak about transparency a little earlier.The tools we have to do our work in committee obviously include a cost-benefit assessment of a closer economic partnership between the European Union and Canada, which sets out ballpark figures. From these figures, we can extrapolate potential economic spin-offs of $1,000 per family, among other things. Of course, these are very simplistic extrapolations. You must admit that such an increase in economic activity will not profit everyone equally, on the contrary. However, it is interesting, nevertheless. Moreover, this assessment is based on a totally open market, a complete opening up of markets.
Given the current state of negotiations, do you think we may see far smaller spin-offs than those forecast in this evaluation?
