I just want to add that, in the context of the United States, the notion that Canada should move expeditiously on the TPP without clarity on what's happening in the United States should clearly be a non-starter.
As I'm sure the committee knows, the TPP cannot take effect unless the U.S. decides to formally ratify it. The idea that we would undertake what are some clear losses, without any certainty the TPP will even come to fruition, makes no sense whatsoever.
Even beyond that, the fact we are seeing this kind of opposition in the United States does suggest that a reopening of the TPP, and renegotiation of some of those terms, may ultimately be a part of the U.S. strategy as well, given where we are seeing some of the presidential candidates speak. Ideally, Canada has to take this up or take it down. I suspect it simply won't be the case.
