Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you to the presenters. I just want to make it very clear to you all that Americans were not concerned at all about supply management, but it is us as Canadians. Our government was able to preserve supply management within this agreement. Probably most of you agree but you did not necessarily get everything you wanted.
My first question is for you, Mr. Lefebvre, carrying on with the conversation. When you said that you were constantly in touch with the negotiation, were you in an engagement when the negotiations were going on?
