Thank you.
We did hear from steel manufacturers in Halifax, for instance, that were worried they would lose business to Spanish steel manufacturers. There is a high unemployment rate in Spain and they have lower costs. We have heard some of those concerns.
Mr. Cox, I'm going to turn to you. This government tells us that the only way to negotiate trade deals is behind closed doors, that the text can't be released to anybody; you have to complete the deal and you can't release that to the Canadian public because that's just the way it's done.
We know that the U.S. is making the TPP text available to legislators as they bargain the text. We know that the European Union has recently announced in January that they are going to publish the investment chapter and put it open for public consultation in Europe.
I'm just wondering what you think about the level of transparency that has typified the government's approach to trade negotiations.
