I've been on the committee for just over eight years. In 2006 we had trade agreements with five countries, and now we have 43 and we're continuing to expand. So we have been relying on the United States, and Prime Minister Harper and now Minister Fast have been aggressively pursuing other markets because of the need for diversification.
It would be appropriate to call you Dr. Campbell. You have an Oxford doctorate. Congratulations. I appreciate your being here again, both times as a witness to our committee.
Dr. Campbell, in your comments, you talked about four priority areas. You talked about the strong positive relationship with the United States, and my colleague Massimo just said it's 73% of our trade. It has gone down from about 85%, so we're diversifying there. We have continued to build initiatives as vice-chair of our Canada-U.S.... The chair of our committee has been working hard with the U.S. trying to break down some of these buy American and country of origin restrictions, the COOL projects the Americans have put in place. We have been working on implementing CETA. Was it number two, number three? You talked about the Asia-Pacific TPP, and of course the Korea agreement was just announced in March, and emerging markets.
One of the goals of GMAP is to align Canada's trade promotion resources to help Canadian companies take advantage of opportunities in high-growth emerging markets. Do you think this is a good approach?
