Thank you, Madam Chair.
Madam Chair, I'm sure all witnesses are aware of a bill currently passing through the Parliament of Canada, Bill C-282, that bars the minister of trade from concluding any free trade agreement that results in opening access to the supply-managed sector. Basically, it makes supply management non-negotiable.
I'll start with you, Mr. Verheul, because of your background in the negotiations of many trade agreements that Canada has signed with many other countries.
Right now, it has passed second reading in the Senate. I was hoping it would die in the Senate, but apparently it's still alive in there, so it may even get passed and it may even get royal assent. If that bill becomes a reality, what impact do you think it will have during the review of CUSMA?
