I would suggest it's a good thing for various levels. It's a good thing because it means that we Canadians can be part of a major trade agreement. We've had a number of smaller ones, both under the previous governments and currently, but we really haven't been part of a major trade agreement since 1995, the WTO and NAFTA.
This gives us credibility internationally as well as within Europe itself. I've spent a lot of time in Europe. Most Europeans were pretty surprised that there was any trade negotiation under way, but all of a sudden they're saying, “Holy cow, look what's happened.”
So it's important at that very general level. It's also important that it helps Europe and the United States deal with each other. We have to watch our preferences in the United States, but it's awfully important that we get economic growth restarted across the Atlantic as well as across the Pacific. The only way that can happen over time is if you build predictability and stability into your trade regimes so these things that Mr. Eyking was mentioning don't become the norm, that you don't have the rule of the jungle but you have a certain amount of stability.
