Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Minister. When we look at Canada and the United States, we've had the longest trading relationship in the world. Four hundred thousand people cross our border every single day as well as $2.4 billion in goods. In my community of Mississauga EastâCooksville, I have a huge a very diverse diaspora. They were very excited about our CETA agreement and the amount of trade they're going to be able to do between Canada and Europe and many other countries where they have roots and linkages.
The same thing happens when you look at Canada and the United States. We're probably the two most diverse countries in the world, bar none. I think about the small and medium-sized businesses within our diaspora. The Polish community in my riding will be able to do a lot of trade with places like Chicago. The Portuguese will with Massachusetts, along with the Indo-Canadian community. Can you explain to us how these communities are going to be able to benefit from this trade deal through NAFTA and how that will enable them to grow their businesses in the same way they feel is going to happen with CETA?
