I thank the honourable member for that wonderful question.
I would say to the contrary that there are the markets we are opening around the world, the work that we are doing in the Indo-Pacific, the high-standard and high-quality agreement that is the CPTPP, which includes a number of Pacific nations. Canada is a Pacific nation country and we are in the CPTPP. We've seen an 8% growth in exports since it has come into force, and it's a progressive and comprehensive agreement. We work with the United States as our largest trading partner and we do this work together.
Yesterday was really terrific, because Secretary Blinken was here in Canada...actually, he's still in Canada. He's just in Montreal today but was in Ottawa yesterday. Minister Joly did announce that we are going to join the Indo-Pacific Economic Partnership and Secretary Blinken, of course, in the United States has supported this.
This is work that we continue to do. Of course, there is always more work to do to deepen the partnerships in the region, but also with the United States we're very committed to making sure that we have good, resilient supply chains. We're negotiating good, strong frameworks for Canada to be a part in the Indo-Pacific, but we're also negotiating in other parts of the world where there are customers. We get to tout that we're the only G7 country with a free trade agreement with every other G7 country. That's customers. Supporting our Canadian businesses to enter into those markets, particularly small and medium-sized businesses, is what I love doing every single day, and I love doing it with all of you.
