Thank you, Chair.
I'd like to share my time with Mr. Shory.
Mr. Trew made a comment, and probably, with deep respect, the one thing I can agree with in what he said is that because we're so early in the stages of discussing Japan, which makes it unique among some of the deals we've discussed, we have some opportunities to influence the direction it's going in So on that, we are in violent agreement, as we say. And with respect to much of what else you've said, you'll forgive me, but perhaps we'll take a different view. Your position is assumed, because if there's anything the Council of Canadians has been, it has been exceptionally predictable. You might view that as strength; I have another view of it, but I respect that you have your view.
I'd like to hear more, if I might, from Ms. Dobson with respect to Canada-Japan versus say Canada-TPP. I love your candour. In fact, I appreciate the candour of all of our guests today, but you made a comment that it would be very difficult if Canada is left out of the TPP. We've taken the position that Canada and the TPP, certainly, but if not the TPP, at least Japan, because it is a process. But what are the implications from your standpoint, Ms. Dobson, if Canada is left out of the TPP? Why is it so critical for our country?
