I was there on the ground in Da Nang, Vietnam, and I can tell you that the Prime Minister of Canada was not a no-show at that meeting. There was a misunderstanding. He had a bilateral meeting with the Japanese Prime Minister, during which he explained that Canada was not ready to announce a conclusion of negotiations. We felt that some countries were rushing to the finish line when there were a number of key issues outstanding, like culture, like our autos dispute settlement mechanism with Japan.
We had an autos agreement with Japan that had not been concluded at the time of Da Nang. In our view, we had made significant progress on the core elements of the agreement, but we had not concluded negotiations. Canada decided that this was not the time to announce a conclusion of negotiations, that more work had to be done.
