I want to expand on that, because Canada has now walked through the door in terms of the trans-pacific partnership negotiations. I would ask not only Ms. Nott but the other participants about the significance of the Japanese agreement continuing to move ahead. Some have said that if we're in the TPP, what is the value in continuing to push to move forward with an agreement with Japan. Taking that initiative, would there be a negative by not continuing to move ahead with the talks with Japan ahead of the TPP?
