That is a real worry and I'm sorry that the folks from Foreign Affairs couldn't address the issue. They do need more resources in my opinion because the trade agenda is that important. The department to a large degree is underappreciated and I would argue to some degree underfunded, but not underpaid, that they do quite well in that regard.
The issue, though, with resources, integration.... We already have a free trade agreement with these countries, so we don't have to go through 15 rounds of negotiations on every point about moving ahead with integration agreements. Most of the work is already done. It's a simple matter of negotiations with them to go over the agenda that they've already produced and how we work with them on that.
The application of resources versus the benefit outweighs anything else we're doing. Cost benefit...I shouldn't use cost benefit with this committee after what we went through with the government, but the cost benefit is clearly there for this agreement.
