I'll answer that as an economist rather than as a business representative.
These kinds of policies and agreements affect the structure and performance of an economy over a long horizon, longer than the kinds of horizons that elected officials typically need to be preoccupied with, and that creates a bit of a dilemma, I think, for all of us.
I would not see this agreement as having a dramatic effect one way or the other, frankly, on the macroeconomy of Canada or B.C. in the short term.
I don't know how many jobs would be created in B.C. I've seen the federal government's modelling work from 2008 or 2009. That should be updated, by the way, because it's out of date now. I think it would be important to redo that study. It wouldn't be a huge number, frankly, because our trade with Europe is modest, but they would be high-quality jobs. One of the things we are concerned about is the quality of employment that's being created, particularly in the private sector. Export-oriented industries, industries that are involved in international commerce whether on the trade or investment side, tend to pay their workers more, tend to have higher productivity, tend to be more innovative. Those are the parts of the economy where we should be trying to stimulate growth and investment. An agreement like this can be helpful in a modest way, but it can be helpful in setting out on that path.
