Thank you very much, Mr. Kram.
Thank you, Madam Chair.
I appreciate all of the witnesses taking the time out of their busy schedules to come to Ottawa to share their perspectives on what is a very important issue. I think all those around this table and all the witnesses would agree on the importance of trade in an integrated market, even though there are disagreements as to some of the specific aspects of it.
Mr. Hilgartner, I would be very curious to hear some of the negative impacts, not just the trade uncertainty, regarding this new NAFTA agreement that your family operation has faced, but the impacts of the overall trade uncertainty on Canada in a global marketplace and how that's affected your local family operation.
