I'm going to pick up on the fact that you raised CUSMA, because I noted that a few witnesses are expressing some reservations regarding our ability to move quickly if an agreement is reached between the two countries.
I think CUSMA is a great example, particularly since it was this committee that was able to move quickly—holding meetings night and day—in order to ensure that was passed. I believe it was passed hours before the House rose for the pandemic. I think it is a nice thing to remember when comforting our business community that we can move very quickly as a government.
Mr. Agnew, I did want to raise something that was mentioned earlier on in committee and that is your July letter, “Strengthening Canadian Supply Chain Resiliency”. You mentioned a number of recommendations and ideas that I found very interesting. One of the areas of focus was really regulatory co-operation, and I think you put it best when you said that it is perhaps the least sexy part of trade, but also one of the most important.
I am certainly seized of the non-tariff barriers that are affecting our agriculture industry, as is the Minister of International Trade. In your analysis of the current agreement with CETA and how we might be able to go further, as you put it, what changes would you make to the regulatory co-operation? Or do you feel that the regulatory co-operation provisions that we have should be rolled over as is?
