Thank you once again, Mr. Chair. It's very interesting.
Mr. Reeder, I heard from your comment that there were some negotiations that commenced in 2004, which you said were stopped in 2005. I believe there must be a reason why, whether it was lack of interest or lack of priorities, from the government of the day. But the fact is that the Prime Minister, along with some other ministers, visited that region this year. Also, Minister Fast took 19 companies from the business community with him to Brazil. That visit emphasizes enough, I would say, the interest our government has in expanding its international trade in that region, in Brazil, etc.
I'll come back to my previous question. Of course, for the reasons mentioned before, we all know that our government is very much focused on expanding trade and bilateral relations with other countries in the global market, but the question again becomes: do you think that it is worth pursuing this activity with Brazil? Is our government heading in the right direction--in other words, are we wasting our time?
