I would like to point out that many of the goods we already import from ASEAN countries cannot be produced in Quebec. For example, one of the main products we import is fruit that grows there, but not here. These are not necessarily products that would be direct substitutes for domestic products. So it would have less impact on our industries, as opposed to free trade agreements with Europe or the United States, for example, where you really have to look at the substitutes. In the case of ASEAN, the effect is somewhat less direct.
