It's best put when we consider that Canada has less than half a per cent of the world's population and yet has more than 2.5% of the global trade market. Because of that, we have a higher standard of living.
By the way, Germany has 1% of the global population, but it has a 9% share of global trade. Look how Germany is benefiting very much and how, in so many ways, it was able to avoid the initial impact of the crisis--precisely because it was so competitive globally.
All that is to say that we have an extraordinary opportunity. We should try to take advantage of it. As I said in my remarks, this is but one of a series of bilateral arrangements that your committee will probably be very busy with going forward.
