Well, majorities change, as we learned just last fall. I think public opinion changes based on argument and debate, so we'll continue to advocate our point of view.
With regard to your point about changing technology and contributions to the economy, I think it might be worthwhile to note that with the new economy and the new technology, technology leaders like former BlackBerry CEO Jim Balsillie and Highline CEO Marcus Daniels, here in B.C., have cautioned about what the TPP will mean in terms of intellectual property provisions and what it will mean for Canadian innovators. Jim Balsillie has been particularly pointed in predicting that the TPP will benefit U.S. technology companies at the expense of Canadian technology companies and our national productivity level.
I guess my concern, as I stated, is that I think we'd become more and more a nation of hewers of wood and drawers of water, people who export raw resources. When our technology leaders are warning us that this deal may be threatening to our new technology sectors, I think that's what we should be thinking about for the 21st century. We should be heeding those calls.
