Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Welcome to the panel members.
I come from beautiful British Columbia. In my riding of Surrey—Newton, and in British Columbia generally, over 95% are small businesses. They always ask questions about NAFTA when I'm out in the community.
The exact question they ask me is basically whether I can highlight the process that will protect and promote trade opportunities within NAFTA for small and medium-sized businesses. Could you elaborate on that, please?
