What we've seen, over the last number of years and certainly in recent times, is that there have been ample and comprehensive consultations with both this committee and the government, and an opportunity for all Canadians to be able to express their views on trade and anything related to our relations with those countries that may be affected by an agreement with those countries.
From our perspective in the agriculture sector, we speak regularly to the provinces, who are regularly engaged with the federal government on matters of trade. We have seen the federal government, including this committee, have multiple public consultations on trade agreements. So we're very pleased with the level of engagement on trade. We see that as very important not just for the 40,000 farmers who are small and medium-sized enterprises, who see their real future in trade, but for other folks who may not see trade in the same way as people who export 90% of their product see trade. The consultation, we feel, has been quite effective and I think it's important because it helps us communicate how past deals aren't as good as, say, the Americans' agreement with Colombia. That opportunity is very much appreciated.
