This is, of course, always a problem, and it has been a problem with NAFTA as well, in terms of the growth of a lot of the industries in Mexico, and a lot of movement of Canadian and American companies to Mexico. We have certainly seen that. Peru, Chile, Mexico, and of course some of the other developing countries have very low wages.
Why would Canadian companies not go there if they have the opportunity? What is that going to mean for Canadian jobs and Canadian workers?
The other thing that I would like to point out in terms of value added is the OECD report, which found that Canada has a comparative disadvantage in high- and medium-high-technology manufacturing. We have a comparative advantage in medium and low manufacturing, but it is really the developing countries that are developing the low-technology manufacturing capacity, so we stand to be undermined by the developing countries taking the place we currently hold, where our advantage is. The high-value manufacturing, in countries such as Australia and the United States, is already developed, and that is where we are weak. That is where we need to see growth and grow our sector. It is not clear that this agreement is going to help us at all with that.
We can continue to have raw items going out of the country, but no processing increases.
