To answer your first question, I would say that being in a trade war with the United States is clearly anything but easy. We've been through four trade wars, and having government support is paramount. If the Canadian government wants to recognize its producers' right to participate in a free market system, it must, in my view, support the industry through guaranteed funding that will help cover the taxes imposed. Between 2002 and 2006, we payed $5 billion in taxes. A deal was reached because the industry was spent and could no longer afford to pay those kinds of sums. That was one of the reasons given.
If we want to do battle, we need to have the resources to see that battle through to the very end, and that's not what we want. We want a negotiated agreement, naturally, but if we do end up having to do battle, the rights of Canadian and Quebec producers need to be defended. In that event, the government should help the industry in making certain its rights are recognized.
