Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I have a quick question for Mr. Laurin. If anyone else wants to chime in, they can.
There was some discussion about tariffs being fairly low in the manufacturing sector. However, in the agricultural sector, tariffs are high, particularly in seafood. Tariffs are up to 24% and 25% on some line items.
My question relates to your statement about rules of origin. Certainly in the agriculture sector, I've talked to a number of producers, and they feel that they can separate the supply lines and the rules of origin and get around that and produce a Canadian product.
In these negotiations, why wouldn't we, and why wouldn't your association, be lobbying for a slight difference? Use the WTO substantial transformation rule and look at rules of origin in manufacturing being treated slightly differently than rules of origin in agriculture. I think there's potential to do that. Have you been pursuing that?
