Our members have not flagged Mercosur as a concern or have not flagged concern with the agri-food trade relationship. Where the concern comes from is the resources put on the negotiators that have a lot on their plates right now with regard to the NAFTA, CPTPP, and a potential deal with China, which I think should be prioritized over Mercosur, and fixing the non-tariff barriers in Europe, where there's a huge potential and we can't tap into that market until the non-tariff barriers are taken care of. Canada needs to stand up to the commitments that Europe made in this agreement.
