Well, if you look at the CPTPP countries, you can see that the only country that will export automobiles to Japan under this agreement is Japan.
After the 6.1% Canadian tariff is eliminated, they will have the ability to export vehicles into Canada duty free as long as they meet the 45% regional value content. As you know, that 45% rule of origin is lower than the current 62.5% under the NAFTA. I would seriously doubt, given that for a country like Japan their key ask and interest in the Canadian market is our elimination of the vehicle tariff, so any discussion.... It was made clear throughout the CPTPP consultations that we were committed not to change any of the market access provisions in the original agreement. We kept to that. We did only suspend 22 provisions, mostly related to ISDS and intellectual property.
I don't believe that Japan would have any interest in agreeing to us harmonizing the rules of origin agreed to and negotiated under the CPTPP with that of a future NAFTA outcome.
