I can tell you that we don't have an insider group, as you've insinuated. Of course, our officials collaborate. They meet regularly with stakeholders across all sectors of our economy. They also meet regularly with provincial, territorial, and municipal governments.
As you know, we have a good working relationship with the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, which strongly supports our trade plan, our efforts to open up new opportunities around the world for trade and investment, but we also seek the advice of stakeholders on a very regular basis. There's no stakeholder who is told that they can't have input into the process.
Obviously, we let stakeholders know the minister and his officials are prepared to hear what they have to say, because we want their concerns to inform the actual outcomes in those tools that I talked about. When we're talking about investment agreements, trade agreements, double taxation agreements, or nuclear cooperation agreements, we want our stakeholders to share with us what it is they need to open up new markets.
I seriously challenge your insinuation that there's this insider group, but I make no apologies for meeting regularly across a broad, diverse cross-section of stakeholders to seek their input. We'll continue to do that.
