Thanks very much.
I wanted to speak with Mr. Laird. You've been talking a little about NTBs, and my question is this: We heard from the Asia Pacific Foundation about 14,000 NTBs now coming up mostly from China, Japan and South Korea. We also know issues with respect to sanitary and phytosanitary measures and NTBs are coming up increasingly at the WTO. What I keep hearing though is that things are not getting resolved at the WTO in any kind of a rapid manner, if at all.
I wonder if you could comment on how important it is to have extraordinarily robust mechanisms within FTAs to deal with NTBs. I know that was a lot of acronyms.
