I will just say that we'll quote you on that when we refer to it.
What I can say is that, with respect to agricultural products, we heard from stakeholders who want us to open markets, for example, the pork industry. If I look at cereals and grains and animal feed, people want to export. We know that the tariffs are high. Our job is to make sure we open markets.
To your point, people understand that when you have a team, different people on the team work on different things. As for my goal, it's not about me; it's about Canadians, about your constituents. When we say we have preferential market access to 1.2 billion consumers, that's what makes the difference.
I agree with you. It may not be the largest trade bloc, but it's the fifth largest in the world. Somehow, I think, for Canadians...either we stay home and say we're satisfied with what we have...but you can't blame me for being ambitious and always trying to find a new market for Canadians. If I look at people in your riding, in particular, whether it's machinery or equipment, whether it's auto parts, whether it's forestry we're talking about...I come from a rural background. If you were to say this to the guys in the forestry sector, they would probably take exception to that because they want to expand markets.
It's not about me; it's about us. It's about Canadians. My job is to make sure we open as many markets as possible. With the deputy minister, and Ana, I think we have enough people to do all that at the same time, and I think we should all cherish that. It's not a political statement. As I said, we represent 0.5% of the world population.
