Thank you very much.
We've heard from a number of stakeholders. Actually, I believe the Canadian Agri-Food Trade Alliance has been at this committee to say that a trade agreement with Mercosur is not a priority right now and that they're more concerned about NAFTA and getting NAFTA right.
What's the real justification for diverting your attention away from the NAFTA file? Is it an ideological commitment to getting another trade agreement, or is it busy work for a junior trade minister who's not on the most important file, which is NAFTA right now? We had an important announcement last week on the new tariffs, and of course it wasn't you at the podium. It was the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Is the Mercosur agreement just partly for the government to be able to say that our trade minister isn't on the most important file because he's off somewhere else? What exactly is this sense of urgency for the Mercosur deal, when there is so much else going on with the trade file that you're not involved in?
