Speaking on behalf of the Canadian importers and exporters association, I think it would be a negative if the talks did not continue. Southeast Asia is a varied region. There are all types of different countries, all at different stages of development and sophistication in international trade. Japan is obviously a very sophisticated and well-versed international trader. They also have a long tradition of trading very heavily with China.
If Canada ultimately negotiates a free trade agreement as well as an EPA with Japan, ultimately that would serve as a launching point for Canadian companies within Asia. Japan is slightly different from some of the other Asian countries in that there's rule of law, there's infrastructure, there's a familiarity of doing business in Japan that may not exist in all countries in that region. I agree with what you're saying about the TPP. We think it's imperative that Canada be included in the TPP and keep all of that going, but Japan is a slightly unique entity within Asia and we think that the talks should definitely continue.
