I'm sorry, I only have a few minutes, Mr. Duncan.
The argument I make back is because of bilateral agreements, we've been able to do exactly what you said. We've been able to be more sector by sector in our approach to doing things.
The other question that you talked about is the collapsing of markets that we do business in. A good example would be in 2008, when the U.S. market collapsed for a variety of goods that Canadians shipped into the U.S. Now the answer to that was, of course, to look for other markets. At the time, we hadn't done a lot of bilaterals. We had put all our faith into the multilateral World Trade Organization-type talks. The results of that were basically nothing. They became so cumbersome and awkward that they couldn't produce results.
When you looked at what happened with the U.S. economy and how things had gone sour in 2008 and 2009 with the global recession, our Canadian businesses were saying, “Where are you, government? Why haven't you done more FTAs into Asia? Why haven't you done more FTAs into Europe? What have you done to give us this market access so we can ship our products to a wider range of customers, so we don't have to be solely reliant on one customer, that being the U.S.?”
How do we respond to that?
