But you can't wait for.... Again, there's criticism with Canada coming into the deal late. This deal was going on, and if you looked at the entire Canadian economy and what was in play, you didn't have the luxury of doing a five- or 10-year study beforehand to analyze what we should or shouldn't be doing. Decisions have to be made if we're going to ratify this deal. We've already signed it, so now if we're going to actually ratify it, are we still going to get the innovation strategy right? What in TPP is so different from NAFTA and the other trade agreements that it would actually prevent us from getting a proper strategy on innovation?
