Is there anything in the trade agreements that doesn't allow the unions to expand into the U.S.? If the Canadian Labour Congress were to say, “Why don't we try to organize some workers in New York State, or down in Washington, or look at taking our union and making it more international?” are there any restrictions in the trade agreement that prevent you from doing that, or is it basically a goodwill gesture that we won't step on their ground as long as they don't step on ours?
