In our case, we already have studies that confirm the potential of such an agreement and the favourable conditions for exports to Asia. I could not say it earlier because we ran out of time, but we support the TPP as well. We know that the United States and Japan must ratify the agreement for it to come into force. On our side, we want Canada to be proactive in bilateral negotiations with the various countries, in order to be ahead of the game and to have access to the markets. Under better circumstances, we will be able to increase our exports.
