Mr. Masswohl, in your opening statement you made a very strong comment reconfirming your support for this Jordan agreement. You also talked about your concerns about a U.S.-Jordan agreement being implemented before our agreement was finalized.
We all know them, and it is so unfortunate that the opposition NDP members simply say there is no economic gain and it's not worth signing this. It's so unfortunate that they look for all kinds of excuses, in my view, at least, to stop any trade expansion. I believe strongly that trade is the backbone of any economy.
I'd like you to comment on the compatibility between Canada and Jordan when we talk about cattle. Is what we export and what they grow compatible? How will this agreement mutually benefit both Canadians and Jordanians?
