Okay. I'll try to be quicker.
Internal barriers, yes, they hinder us. The internal trade issues in Canada are well known. They hit the GDP. They also affect our ability to make products together in Canada to export abroad. That's something we don't think about with internal trade. It makes us less competitive as an exporting nation.
We export LNG to Asia. We export quite a bit. As you mentioned, Mexico has four Pacific coast LNG projects that are FID. Mexico doesn't produce enough gas for its internal consumption, yet it's building plants to export. Where is that gas coming from? It's coming from the U.S. How does the U.S. have so much gas that it can afford to meet domestic consumption and export gas to Mexico for it to export? It's Canadian gas entering the U.S. market. We're dodging GHG emissions in Canada, but we simply ship them down to the U.S. We haven't stopped the increase in GHG emissions. We've just aided and abetted the Americans and the Mexicans to profit.
This is an example of a political decision. Trade policy is political. The decisions with whom to trade are made by the private sector. You do not determine the success of a trade agreement. You do not determine whether that trade grows or diminishes. The private sector does. The policies that enable it are under your control. The LNG issue is a great example of political decisions. The MRL decisions in Europe are also political issues.
You can have all the science in the world, but if people believe that GMOs are harmful, good luck getting GMOs in, even if you have the science. You're not going to win every battle based on science, so you have to be careful about the application and set your expectations as to where you can win and where you're just going to lose.
Good luck trying to get cotton or sugar to the U.S. in that regard, despite the science and other evidence. It's political.
