I wasn't expecting that right off the bat, so....
I'm going to tell you what's on my mind.
Thank you all for being here. You know we're big fans of the the great work you've done, and you certainly have proven that we have some great people at the helm.
A reporter was asking me about the last question I asked, about container sizes and the importance of our ministers and government officials understanding that—and she didn't understand the question. The response was that we need to harmonize, but, Steve, you understand those container sizes and why we're kind of lucky that we had put these things into place a long time ago. Doing that saved a lot of jobs as a result. It's kind of like when I drive down the 401. I love to go at a steady speed, and I know everybody does, but when you have somebody about a mile up the road who's gawking, a mile back you're stopped. For negotiators—and I don't want to put you on the spot—it's so fast, and it's something that needs to be seamless, so if you're not getting quick responses and government officials understanding these issues to the degree that they should, that can slow the process down so much.
I'm not trying to ask you to tell tales out of school, but are you finding that your negotiation is moving forward? Are you getting the proper help that you need?
For us Conservatives, I know that's our job as opposition. We always say this government doesn't know what it's doing, and it said the same thing about us, but do you have that confidence level that the people at the helm know what they're talking about and understand the issues that are so important to Canadians like the ones Tracey and I know, in the auto industry and the ag industry and the greenhouse industry? Do you have that confidence level?
