I know, or at least I'm advised, that countries like the United States and the U.S. Congress required there to be a tax information sharing agreement in place before they gave it preferential trade status, or signed a trade agreement and started letting investment moneys flow between the countries. It's the case, isn't it here, that Canada is doing the opposite, that before us in Parliament we're proposing to pass a free trade agreement with Panama before we have in place a tax information sharing agreement?
