Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Mr. Minister, the media reported this week that DFAIT has set up a special insider group that'll be consulted on the TPP negotiations and updated regularly on Canada's position.
Can you confirm whether the TPP consultation group, or something like that, exists? Will you provide this committee with a list of who is part of that group? Can this committee, elected officials sent here to Parliament to represent Canadians, expect to receive the same level of information as those industry groups, if in fact they are receiving this information?
