I agree with Mr. Fay and Mr. Kennedy. The re-engagement with the U.S. will be critical in the months and years ahead, especially on this one. While the Americans did finally agree to appoint the new director, they were dragged into it kicking and screaming at the same time. I might not be as convinced yet that they're fully on board with WTO, but we do have CUSMA and probably other agreements in the future with them, so I'm not worried on that front. Engaging them will only help us convince them of the merits of the WTO.
