Well, just briefly, we consulted throughout the original TPP process. Then, once the agreement was concluded in 2015, and we were in the position to move the agreement towards ratification, we really intensified our consultative process. When we then entered into a phase where we were getting serious about negotiating an agreement without the United States, we did the usual consultative triggers. We posted the Canada Gazette notice, and we invited all Canadians to provide comments on what they thought of Canada concluding the agreement of the CPTPP without the United States.
Since then, we've held a series of public consultations. We've held approximately 250 meetings and discussions with over 650 stakeholders comprised of business and non-business organizations, civil society, think tanks, academics, indigenous groups, youth groups, gender-based groups, and various other groups within the general public.
I think that by and large the comments we received were supportive of Canada engaging in this agreement as part of a trade diversification strategy.
