Thanks, Mr. Chair.
When you look at this, to be so prescriptive as to legislate the need to organize an annual trade mission to Korea, in my mind probably wouldn't be the most effective way to ensure that Canadian companies are benefiting from this agreement. Obviously, over time, needs and approaches will change.
I think you also have to take this in the context of the government's broader trade agenda of trying to ensure we are providing a diversity of markets. We need to ensure we're looking at the priorities in our global markets action plan. We need to work with Canadian companies to ensure there's flexibility in circumstances and needs over time, to better ensure that companies can benefit from a range of agreements and trade missions.
I think that to be so prescriptive as to say that there must be an annual mission would not best serve Canadian companies.
