Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Good morning and thank you, Minister, and to your team.
As Dean mentioned, the key element in political representatives is accessibility, and I commend you. You are always accessible.
We have studied CETA on this committee, the CPTPP, and Mercosur. It's highly unlikely that we would be able to sign NAFTA before the end of the year.
When we look at the other agreements, or reaching out to other nations for agreements, could you tell us how these agreements will leave Canadians in a favourable position?
