That's all I need. So it was there, and as Mr. Blaikie states, nobody around the table believes that the Prime Minister and the minister would sign on to an agreement without having some facts in front of them. You mentioned that this is a process you go through. Nobody politically says you need to do it; it's just something you do.
I want to look at your record and what you did in the past. The TPP was signed on February 4, 2016. You made the economic impact analysis of that available on March 16, so it was within a month. The CPTPP was signed on March 8, 2018. You had the economic analysis of that released on February 16, 2018, a month beforehand.
We're stumped because my colleague Mr. Hoback was asking the government way back in the spring to do a prestudy on it. By your own historic numbers, even if you take the date that we asked for this in December—but we didn't just ask for the full study, we just wanted advice and documents, perhaps the advice to the minister—we got nothing until literally 20 minutes before you're here.
We were told by the Prime Minister and the minister before the election, which was.... Okay, they knew what was going on here because the agreement for CUSMA was signed on November 30, 2018. So I would have thought with your bureaucratic processes, you would have had a really good idea within a month or two of what this meant for Canadians, and yet it wasn't released by the government. I wonder why this was held from Canadians before the election.
Do you have any idea why?
