Thank you.
I appreciate that it was frank, two-way discussion, and open and transparent. We not only say that, but I agree that it is important that we have that two-way dialogue, because at the end of the day, I said, it's the communities across Canada that can benefit from this agreement as well.
I would like to ask a question of vice-president Sam from the Canadian Council of Chief Executive Officers. From your perspective, the members have been supportive, as you indicated from your opening comments. Where do you see this agreement in the perspective of today's economy?
We see the uncertainty not only in North America but in the global markets. To provide this agreement would provide some stability and certainty in the Canadian markets. What kind of message would it send globally if we were able to ratify this?
