If I may, I don't think I said there wasn't public consultation. I said that the draft text has not been out in the public for comment, and that's where I think it would be extremely valuable, and I presume not just on environmental matters that we can comment on and many others can comment on, but across a whole range of other topics. It would be hugely beneficial to the public in Europe and in Canada and to all kinds of different interests to comment on the exact text. It's great to talk about general interests, but we then need to see how they're going to actually be embodied in the agreement.
