I appreciate that. Let me, however, register this concern. It has been said many times through these negotiations that you have your formal face-to-face meetings--there have been eight rounds and there will be nine--and once those are done, that's when the horse-trading starts.
I have to tell you that I would hate to think there's going to be horse-trading with an issue as important as the extension of the patent protection rules on pharmaceuticals, given the potential impact. Who knows what exactly that's going to be? I have to tell you that I'm concerned we're going to move into that phase and you and your officials won't know the true impact. Let me just leave that with you.
I also want to ask you about one of the issues around fish. The minister talked about the east coast, and I know, from talking with officials and companies on the east coast, that there certainly is some interest in having increased access to markets. There are also issues around ports and access to ports and the whole question of rules of origin. I wonder if you could please explain what progress you've achieved on these issues and whether those concerns have been resolved.
