To the extent that you would think that or you would agree that everything that has happened under NAFTA has been a positive thing.... It hasn't necessarily been a net gain to Canada in NAFTA.
In terms of it leveraging, my question would be: would it leverage it in a positive way or leverage it in a negative way? There are some negative aspects to NAFTA as well, particularly in terms of the investor dispute mechanism.
In terms of whether we will benefit in these countries where we don't have much trade, I mean probably, and I want to be clear that I'm not against doing trade with these countries and I'm not against increasing trade for producers in Manitoba. I'm absolutely in favour of it.
Our concerns are the nature of this agreement in terms of the investor dispute mechanism, the patent protections, and the inability of government to protect labour and regional development.
I'm not trying to suggest that we shouldn't do trade or that we shouldn't open up these markets for our local producers. We should, but we need to be mindful of how we do it and we need to be mindful of the agreement in which we enter.
