That's a great question. We haven't realized the potential from the European agreement that we were expecting. We do have an application in on one of the non-tariff trade barriers to get the products we use in North America in our food safety system. Part of the reason we're not selling more is that our processors aren't prepared to turn down our food safety system to go to Europe. That's basically it in a nutshell. We're going to see by this time next year whether Europe is prepared to approve a product that they use extensively throughout the entire continent, so that will be a real test of that.
I do want to clarify this idea that there aren't trade negotiations going on. One of the most important things we're working on right now is our accession to the CPTPP, and that is probably the gold standard for ambition in trade agreements. The last thing we want to do is see that ambition eroded. It is proven to us. We lost access to China for a number of reasons that are not science-related, but because of the CPTPP and the ambition we achieved there, we were able to move on very successfully and still have a record level of exports.
There are active trade negotiations. These are real conversations, and it's important that we have the best opportunity to negotiate the most ambitious agreements. We did export 85 billion dollars' worth of Canadian agri-food products. This is pretty important to the Canadian economy.
