Thank you for that.
In many ways, we're doing that already. A formal trade framework will certainly help encourage that and get us to a level playing field with some of our competitors in the region. That has started and is well under way, and we need to maintain the momentum on that.
The second thing, which is more challenging, is ensuring that once we have these trade frameworks in place, we continue to encourage Canadian businesses to take advantage of them. This requires a lot of coordination among the resources that we have. There's often a complaint that we don't have enough resources on these problems, but we have a tremendous amount of resources. It's just that we're not always very coordinated with the left hand and the right hand in getting a clear picture to Canadian business of what the opportunity set is there and what the resources are that they can take advantage of in accessing these markets.
I think the other thing is patience and a time commitment. It takes a long time, both to build these agreements and to building trading relationships, particularly in a region like Asia, or an ASEAN country, where relationships are highly valued. We've had remarkable success in the last decade or so, since rejuvenating our relationship with ASEAN and focusing on that. We are now at the table as a partner that's taken very seriously, and we need to take advantage of that and, being where we are at the moment, because there's no better time—
