I think something that will be important as the CETA is concluded and enters into force is for Canada to make sure we understand how our businesses can take advantage of it. We officials need to make sure we do all the work necessary in supporting all of you and the people you represent in going forward and taking full advantage of what has been negotiated. An agreement is just an agreement. A trade agreement is just an agreement. It sets out basic rules. It sets out some parameters for trade, but businesses need to get out there and use those advantages that have been provided. I think that is something important to consider, and it's something that's important for everyone to work at together.
