I appreciate that.
The bells are going to go in a minute or two, but I'm going to ask the committee's indulgence for my using the chair's prerogative to ask a question or two that I think have been overlooked a little.
Last Friday, Japan formally asked to be part of the TPP. The Ambassador of Colombia was here just before you. Colombia is not part of TPP, but Peru is and so is Canada. The indication was that TPP might have some struggles in getting to an agreement, but we're working as hard as we can. I think your country and our country, all of us, want to see that succeed. But I want your perspective on the success of the TPP and where it's going, and then the potential hurdles it may face and whether there might perhaps be fewer hurdles with the Pacific Alliance, as you see it, and its success were Canada to join it.
