I am happy to have officials provide you with that information.
As a point of clarification, again, we are working on the—I hope—continued speedy passage of Bill C-18, which is the legislation that will give into force the continuity agreement between Canada and the U.K. so that the provisions of CETA continue.
Let me just remind you of some of the benefits of CETA over the last two years of CETA's entry into force. Canadian merchandise exports to the EU, including the U.K., averaged $46.6 billion in 2018. That was up 16.6% compared to pre-CETA levels.
This agreement is really important to Canadian businesses and exporters. We're looking forward to working with members on all sides of the House, so that we can all ensure that Canadian businesses and exporters continue to have the benefits of this important agreement.
