Pardon me, but I would have thought the pharmaceutical companies were there to protect...certainly their corporate interests, but if they are not also in the interests of Canadians, and the generics are a great example of that because we all know that those are dramatically less expensive, but those were the ones that also came back and called that a balanced agreement.
Before I run out of time, Mayor Corrigan and Councillor Dhaliwal, thank you. Interesting perspective. I come from the tenth-largest city in Canada, London, Ontario. We call ourselves an urban oasis in a sea of agriculture. You talked about the things that are important to your industry. You talked about Telus and high tech and all, and of course British Columbia and how important it is.
It was interesting that the vice president of lumber sales and marketing from Western Forest Products, Bruce St. John, said, “A trade agreement with the EU will further diversify markets and strengthen relationships for coastal B.C.'s forest industry. Market diversity and strong global relationships promote business stability, which means secure jobs and reliable economic contributions from the forest sector.” I share that with you because you made a couple of statements that I just want to challenge, and I'm going to do this quickly. You thought this deal was a threat to democracy. That's huge. It felt somewhat isolationist and protectionist.
