I disagree. We know that the large companies are out there and are engaging with the USTR, but where are our small producers? Where are the labour unions? Where are the aboriginal people that we discussed in our recommendations? If we have a round table, we'd be ensuring that all of those voices were at the table. I don't know where they're at. It's part of my questioning, actually, to find out where they're at currently in the negotiations. I think having a round table would bring everyone into the room, and at the end of the day we'll have a clearer picture coming out of that.
