We represent all the companies in every sector of manufacturing and export-related or trade-related activities, and I think everybody has a lot at stake in these negotiations. You're right to say that some have more of an offensive interest, while some have more of a defensive interest.
Some sectors don't do a lot of business in the European Union right now, so they're looking for better market access, because they'll make things that they will export to Europe. Some of our members have been doing business in Europe and have had manufacturing facilities there, sometimes for hundreds of years, and they're looking for better investment protection, labour mobility, and things like that, because they already are in Europe and are considered to be almost a European company.
Some of our members are operating plants in Canada and saying that if they had this agreement they might be able to attract more investment into Canada, because they'd have better access to both the EU and the U.S. market. If you're looking at setting up a manufacturing facility to service the entire world market, Canada is a more attractive place, but there are other factors that come into play when you're trying to attract manufacturing investment.
I think all of the sectors have a lot at stake. Are you asking which ones have more offensive concerns or which ones tend to benefit most? It's really hard to answer that question today, because a lot depends on how the agreement is structured in the end. For example, I've mentioned the rules of origin requirements. This is critical, because how you set the rules of origin determines whether you can use the agreement to sell a product into the European market and vice versa.
