To the extent that current TPP members such as Japan compete in our market against Korea, they will be more motivated to conclude a negotiation with us inside the TPP. Japan is a very direct competitor of Korea's in the automotive market but in other sectors of the Canadian economy, so having this agreement on the books creates a competitive pressure on Japan. Basically any country that competes with Korea in our market would now be more motivated to seek an agreement with Canada.
