Thank you for your question.
As mentioned, the U.S. administration has raised the issue on occasion, but not consistently. Whenever the issue came up, it was to convey the concerns of Mr. Higgins. It wasn't raised as an issue the two countries needed to work on.
The committee has a lot of experience with the various trade issues between Canada and the U.S. I wouldn't say this is something that has reached the same level of importance as other issues.
