Thank you so much for that question, Mr. Masse.
I can tell you that I as trade minister strongly believe that trade is a key driver of economic growth in Canada. That's why my focus is on opening up new markets for those very manufacturers you've talked about, so that they will be able to sell into new markets. And it's not only about manufactured goods; it's about Canadians providing services around the world, because we can compete and we can do so effectively.
You mentioned the trade imbalance. As you know, in the last year our bilateral trade balance actually had a $10 billion turnaround, and that's good news for Canada. I believe it indicates that our aggressive trade policy, which is looking to open up new markets for Canadian businesses, is working. I believe that going forward that policy will serve us well. We have a long way to go yet to get to the point where Canada is maximizing its potential, but I believe we're off to a good start.
