Thank you, Mr. Myers, for joining us today.
My questions are largely drawn from your statement this morning. During your testimony you mentioned that governments, both provincial and territorial, have been part of the negotiations in support of the agreement. For the benefit of people listening to the testimony or reading the transcripts, can you explain to us why provincial governments would have been supportive of this agreement, keeping in mind that these representatives from provincial governments cross party lines. We have Conservatives, NDP, Liberals in leadership across the country. What does this mean for them, and why would they get behind it?
