Okay. I thought you were talking about a different one. Then that's fine; we do have that one.
I will start with the representative of the Council of Chief Executives. You mentioned the concerns that we are falling behind on trade in some countries where we have already secured trade, one of them being Korea. That is an extremely important market to us, on that is already established, and we're falling behind the Americans. The government is in all kinds of negotiations, but the results are not there. We're very concerned and have been saying to the government consistently—and I'm glad you reminded them as well—that they have to concentrate on the markets we're already in, Korea being a big one, and not just go out and negotiate an agreement anywhere just so they can talk about the number of trade discussions they're in, because it seems to be a numbers game.
On your presentation from the council, I do have to agree with some of the concerns raised by Mr. Slomp, although I'm very much in favour of trade. One concern we have is that with increased globalization, the power of global multinational corporations is very much enhanced and an opportunity for them, on behalf of their shareholders, basically to exploit the environment and resources and labour around the world. That concern is being expressed by more and more people. While good work is done by corporations, I’m concerned.
Here I will mention that John Manley, as you know, is a former colleague of mine. I spoke to him the other night, and we certainly very much disagree with his position on supply management. We think it's a model of rural development that could be used around the world.
I agree with whoever said that we have to be careful with the Japanese market. Trade is not going to be as it was, because the Japanese have very much changed their position and are now into bilateral agreements. We have to be in the game, but how do we find a way of adding value to Canadian exports? When I look at exports, whether coal, raw products, oilseeds, copper, or the beef industry we are into some value-added, I wonder what we have to do as a country, regardless of the agreement, to add value in Canada to these exports to a country like Japan?
