One of the challenges we have, being a border community, is that we rely heavily on interaction between Canada and the U.S. That has been our ideal place to export, because it's fast and it's easy. We can literally see the other country across the river in the Niagara region.
In these past few years, there's been a lot of uncertainty for us being able to ship goods or get contracts in the U.S. Through the Canadian consulates around the world, we've been helped to find other opportunities in other countries to export our products—those longer supply chains. We've relied too heavily on a specific path. We have to start building these other chains so that if something goes wrong, we still have other opportunities. It's the diversification that is necessary.
Furthermore, if this is ratified, the resulting diversification will allows us to develop partnerships and build bridges between the other trade agreements for us to have better access into the U.S. market with trade partnerships from our other pacts, such as CETA and the like.
