I was not at the time, because I was concerned about a number of issues that we've actually talked about today. I think my concerns are still valid. It's hard 20 years later to say where we might have been had we not been in NAFTA. The global economy has changed, but I think that a number of the provisions in there were not beneficial to Canada. That is not to say that I oppose trade or that I don't think we should have some arrangements with other countries. That's a different matter. The question is what are the specific terms in the agreement and how do they benefit us or otherwise?
