Thank you.
As you have mentioned, Minister Ng was also in Thailand recently, meeting with APEC. She announced that Canada has submitted a formal request to launch negotiation for Canada's accession to the Digital Economy Partnership Agreement.
Can you please provide us an update, maybe open to everyone on the floor here, on recent developments, provide some background information on the DEPA, and expand on the benefits that joining the DEPA would bring to Canadians?
