I see Canada prepared to sign. It may be that a number of countries will choose to wait until after the U.S. election or to wait and see what happens with the U.S. If it so happens that TPP falls apart, I would urge Canada to immediately engage in bilateral negotiations with some of those countries in order to reduce tariffs and clarify rules of trade. I think there's a huge opportunity for us. We cannot be the country that gets left behind.
