I also heard a lot from Canadian businesses about how important it is to ensure that the provisions of CETA are maintained. That's what this continuity agreement is. CETA was ratified three years ago. We are celebrating the third-year anniversary. I am speaking with businesses and workers this week on the effects and on even more opportunities under CETA. However, we heard also very, very clearly from businesses and workers that it was important to get a continuity agreement, to get an agreement with the United Kingdom as it leaves the EU so that those businesses that work in the EU have the continuity and the predictability that they need in their businesses with the U.K.
