Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Ms. Hillman and Ms. Theodore, for appearing before our committee today.
Just briefly, before I begin my questions I'd like to push back on what the Conservatives have been saying as one of the most transparent negotiation processes. We've had witnesses coming to the committee unable to make projections about job creation numbers in their own sectors. I know Mr. O'Toole is concerned about the Council of Canadians causing mischief. I think it's in the best interest of all Canadians that there's a level of greater transparency in the negotiations.
I'd like to continue by asking about the number of FTAs that Canada already has with most of the significant countries in the TPP. Since we already have trade agreements with many of these countries, what new market access does Canada stand to gain from the TPP?
