We work very closely with the ministry and with all interested parties. We've organized a number of events with Minister Fast and with the department, and I've taken part in most of the post-negotiation debriefings that are held by the chief negotiator and her team. We have as much information as is available to us and other parties. The foundation is part of a regional network of researchers. It has counterparts in all the TPP economies that study the agreement and make recommendations. We look forward to getting more information as the negotiations advance so that the export community as well as the public feel confident that this is a deal that benefits all Canadians and all the parties involved.
