Yes, certainly tariff access, when you're competing with Italian pasta manufacturers or French bakery companies [Technical Difficulty—Editor] we're providing high-quality Canadian-grown and processed ingredients, all I ask for is a level playing field, because we can compete. We have the best farmers. We have an integration of our research [Technical Difficulty—Editor] and innovation and an ability to commercialize that innovation. As long as we have market access, Canadian companies are going to be very dominant. We've shown that in the ability of Canadian companies like Alliance Grain to go from a start-up to exporting over $1 billion [Technical Difficulty—Editor] means we are competitive. From that perspective, CETA and even the lateral trade agenda in general.... Colombia was a big agreement for our sector. It allowed us to have a level playing field with the U.S. agreement that was being negotiated where Canadian lentils that account for about $100 million in exports, were going to be put at a tariff disadvantage...with our move to that agreement..... Peru is the same thing.
We've seen these agreements paving the way for market access. It gives me confidence to deploy tens of millions of dollars and to generate hundreds of new jobs, because that's sustainable access to these markets. The lack of clarity gives you risk. What I like is regulatory certainty, and I like dispute resolution mechanisms.
