Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to thank you for being with us. What you are explaining today is very interesting. Earlier, you talked about small and medium-sized enterprises and the Pacific Alliance. I'm sure that small and medium-sized enterprises have objectives for the agreements you mentioned.
My riding is in the northern suburbs of Montreal, where a number of small and medium-sized businesses are located. In addition, Bell Helicopter and Bombardier are in the vicinity.
You are talking to us today about an agreement with Mercosur, which includes Brazil. But surely you know that one of our major competitors is in Brazil. That's why I was wondering if this was an issue. Many of our small and medium-sized businesses are in the aerospace and aviation industries, but also in transportation and agri-food. I'm talking about aviation, but I would also like to know how the agreements you are presenting today can be of benefit to companies in the agri-food, automotive and aerospace sectors.
