Thank you.
I have a specific question with respect to Panama, but on the point of the multilateral trade, I hope the government and the department have not backed off on understanding how important multilateral trade is. In one of my earlier questions I was thinking about mentioning the fact that we're kind of trotting around trying to beat the U.S. or trying to get in too on these deals. While that's all great, I think it's in the best interest of the global trading community if we have a multilateral deal. So I would encourage you and your department, and certainly the parliamentary secretary and the minister, to not let off on efforts to reach a multilateral deal, understanding how difficult that's been.
On Panama, Madame Hillman, you said 99% of tariffs have been taken off, trade barriers. I guess my question relates to other trade deals—for example, CETA with Europe. Some people would suggest that there are very few barriers left in most of the areas and ask what we are gaining. I guess my questions then to you are these. First, what is the change in the trade barriers and what were they before we negotiated these? Second, have you done any modelling to estimate what the economic opportunity is going to be over the next five to ten years for Canada?
Thank you.
