Again, I actually do appreciate the question. I think that if governments do not listen to constructive criticism of trade agreements, say of the type that was heard from Wallonia and their First Minister, Paul Magnette, there is a risk that you will get the demagogic criticisms that we saw surface and lead to a path of victory south of the border. I think that risk actually represents a larger threat to the openness of the global economy than does actually sitting down and seriously addressing principled criticisms about trade deals having interfered too much with regulatory autonomy and democratic decision-making, or at least having a sober discussion about it instead of simply going to the barricades and saying any type of criticism is anti-trade, which it is not.
