Great, thank you, Chair.
I'm still stuck with my question and confusion about what the NDP are looking for in the text. My friend and my colleague from the NDP, Brian, gave a bad example. He mentioned mortgages. I would be surprised if many people read each and every line of their mortgage. The only thing they're concerned about is the mortgage interest rate, the prepayment terms, default provisions, and repayment penalties.
We on this side, Mr. Verheul, are really excited about this deal, and I'm sure Canadians are. The vast majority of Canadians are excited. You are excited. Your team is excited. For the benefit of those who are watching today's proceedings, I would like you to elaborate on the provision of ratification in Canada. My colleague, Russ, talked about the ratification process in the European Union countries, so you may want to talk about the process of ratification here in Canada.
