Just to make one point, Mr. Chair, I will be opposing the motion.
I believe that progress is being made. When witnesses were here on Tuesday, we talked about this somewhat. I'm personally firmly of the opinion that when you have an agreement, you actually do have more leverage, in any event, in dealing with issues such as money laundering.
I spoke with some of the folks who export frozen french fries to Panama, and they are worried. Their number one worry is how the dollar value is affecting them and their ability to be competitive.
We are in a delicate timeframe vis-à-vis the United States. In this case, we need to get the agreement into the House and through our system as quickly as possible so that we can stay strong players in that market.
I understand where Don's coming from on this and I understand that it's with the best of intentions, but I will be opposing this motion.
