We have to keep in mind that there are presidential elections in Korea on December 19. Because the election campaign was run on anti-free trade agreement lines, we feel that there's a sense of urgency to conclude the Canadian-South Korea free trade agreement before the new president is voted in.
We also realize that because we are lagging behind the U.S. and the European Union, we may not get what we want. At the same time, we have to make sure that we will not be excluded from that market forever if we don't have an agreement; there's a balance here. We are in close contact with the Canadian negotiators.
My plea today would be that we should try to have as good a deal as possible, but as soon as possible, to make sure that we don't jeopardize having any deal at all. We need one, and knowing the situation in South Korea, we need to hurry up.
