Witnesses, thank you so much for your presentations.
My questions really centre on the process with respect to negotiating trade deals. In this instance, it is the Canada-U.S.-Mexico agreement.
We have for a very long time consistently been in the situation where trade deals are negotiated and signed, and then Canadians get let in on the deal after it is all said and done. The New Democrats have been pushing to change that effort so there would be more transparency and more ability for government to know what Canadians are thinking with respect to trade deals and what's important to them.
To that end, in going forward with respect to trade deals, I'd like to seek your advice on what kind of changes you would like to see with respect to process.
I'll start with Mr. Topp, please.
