I think, as you heard from the Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters, Canada has been engaged in serial market access negotiations for some time. The previous Conservative government signed many agreements, but I think the focus should be more on supporting Canadian firms to be more internationally competitive, and that involves significant investment in innovation and productivity enhancement and the kinds of diplomatic and other supports that can be provided outside the context of free trade agreements.
In your previous testimony, I was struck that groups that had been very strongly supportive of CETA and other agreements were saying that their early experience had not been positive, including the agrifood exporters. I think there has to be a lot more investment in supporting our firms and our workers to be successful in global markets, which is essential.
