I think that any time you're in a negotiation, there's going to be a lot of heated rhetoric. I still remember what someone said to me about CETA, about how when you get to the end, there's drama both real and manufactured. Whether this is real or manufactured, that's not for me to say—I'm not in the room—but I think we need to put our nose to the grindstone on this, set aside the accusations on both sides, and focus on actually getting a deal done because that's what businesses want: certainty for January 1.
