Thank you, Madam Chair.
Good morning, Minister Ng.
You said that the real agreement would obviously be the permanent agreement, and that talks would undoubtedly begin soon. You also spoke about public consultations. However, I hope that there will also be consultations with parliamentarians.
To ensure greater transparency, what mechanism have you considered proactively putting in place to consult parliamentarians and the public? As duly elected members of Parliament and spokespersons for our constituents, we must inform you of certain requests or priorities and mandate you, so to speak, to advocate for certain industries, aspects or specific issues before you go to the negotiating table. What have you considered doing in this respect?
