We have an agreement with each of these nations in the World Trade Organization negotiations, the multilateral trading systems, and in many respects I think our first preference would be to see the World Trade Organization Doha Round negotiations create common rules so we have market access to all nations in Asia, including, for example, that WTO rules extend to China. But there are significant aspects of government procurement, of services, of investment rules that are not covered in the WTO. Without a regional agreement like TPP we can't move to some of those new forms of services, for example, new forms of moving people, which is increasingly important to bring highly skilled individuals and others who are needed to complete specific projects and engineering services in Quebec, for example.
