Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and my thanks to Mr. Price and Mr. Sutton for being with us today.
The official opposition, the New Democrats, are also supportive of having swift and thorough negotiations. We're excited about the prospects of having an economic cooperation agreement signed with Japan. We think that Japan is an ideal partner for Canada in many ways. It's a mature democracy. It has very high standards. We're learning across the board about high-quality standards, high environmental standards, high labour standards, high sanitary and phytosanitary standards. We think there are a lot of complementary areas between our economies, and we'll be pushing the government to move as quickly as they can to get a comprehensive agreement.
You mentioned non-tariff barriers. I'd like to have a brief description from each of you. Please give us one or two examples of concrete non-tariff barriers that you think we need to address to help your industries.
