It is very clear that we are in favour of the agreement. Perhaps I was not clear enough during my presentation, but we are in favour of all options for reducing tariffs on sea products. We have only one reservation, which I mentioned during my presentation. I think I have explained the reasons for that clearly enough. We are in favour of the agreement because it would increase the value of our products.
Asia is one of the three major corners of this triangle I referred to earlier, as concerns exporting Canadian seafood products. This is an underdeveloped market, especially for frozen lobster and shellfish. Both of these products are of great economic value for Canada.
This triangle is very important. We have tremendous potential in Asia and Europe, two underdeveloped markets. We are checking whether tariff reductions would be possible in these two areas.
If we want to put this strategy in place, it is very important that the value of Canadian seafood products increase.
