On behalf of Canada, I would like to congratulate you on your work, Mr. Verheul. I think I can speak for everyone here, in a non-partisan way. You are doing excellent work. We are really proud of your efforts, yours and those of the teams who work for you. Thank you again.
Still, I would like to suggest a small change. On several occasions, we have heard about the relationship between Canada and the United States. But while we share the longest and safest border in the world with our American friends and allies, we also engaged in these negotiations with a third NAFTA partner, Mexico, of course. We had the opportunity to have witnesses appear before this committee representing Mexican companies and interests.
Based on your experience, could you tell us how Canada-Mexico relations are and your relationship with your Mexican counterpart at the bargaining table?
Could you also elaborate on the rallying points between Canada and Mexico?
