Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Thank you to our guests.
We've been sitting here for a couple of days now, talking with folks about the deal, asking them what impact a deal is going to have on their sector in particular and what they know about it. As my colleague said, it's a technical summary, and we are trying to find out a little more about it and what impacts it has, positive and negative.
You both have raised more questions, frankly, and more potential and possibilities than anything. There are a couple of issues, including the patent stuff and the standardization issue, which is something we need to get some answers to. We tried to get some information from the Manufacturers and Exporters about whether they know what sectors are going to benefit and what sectors aren't, and by how much. Do either one of your institutions plan to do any research on this, so that we, as Atlantic Canadians, know better what the story is here before we're asked to sign on?
