At the time I thought that the government was being awfully cautious, not all that interested in pursuing what I thought was the kind of agenda we should be pursuing. I have not changed my mind.
You asked me earlier whether I had been consulted. I have not been consulted, but I certainly have expressed my views to the minister, indicating that I think we are majoring in minors rather than pursuing what I think are the issues that are of grave moment to the Canadian economy as a whole. Most of the trade agreements we are pursuing can be characterized as retail trade agreements.
