Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you to all the witnesses. Thank you for your fantastic testimony this afternoon. We're sorry to delay you, but that's the life up here sometimes.

My first question, Madam Chair, is through you for Mr. Agnew.

I'm not here to blame anybody or any nation, but what is your perspective on why a trade agreement hasn't happened before with ASEAN nations? Why has there been a delay there?
