Right now in NAFTA, our regulations are better than what we see under the TPP. Again, I think I mentioned that earlier with reference to Vietnam and Malaysia. They're at 13 years before their tariffs for their independent parts will be eroded. It really begs the question of why we are at five years. It doesn't even give us a strategy or a plan to be able to react to what the problem is.
Then we take a look at the United States, the major component of the TPP with Japan, and they're at 25 years for auto and 30 years for trucks. So if we take a step back and say if we're going to negotiate, wouldn't we want to at least be on a level playing field so we're all playing the same game instead of eroding our economy so the United States could benefit from that? That's something that just doesn't make sense to me, and I don't understand the logic of it. That's why I think we need to revisit it. They've done it in CETA. They've done it in Europe.
I'm not understanding why the answer is just no. I think there's room, and I think we just have to push further.
