I think certainly there has been some anxiety that our members are feeling, not only about non-tariff barriers but also the pace of negotiations that some of our competitors have adopted when it comes to negotiating free trade agreements around the world. That has been the case with the U.K. and other countries as well.
We know that we lose when our competitors are first to markets we are also after. Seeing the U.S., Australia and the EU engage with the U.K. certainly raises eyebrows and questions, but that's also the case with the U.S. and China, or the EU and Thailand and others. It all certainly creates some anxiety, and they find that Canada's response in large part to our global competitiveness can provide confidence, or not, on a path forward.
That's why we support the inclusion of the U.K. among Canada's priorities for negotiation. It's important that Canada be actively engaged in the discussions with the U.K. and not necessarily wait and see.
