This agreement is comparable to the agreements we have with the United States and Mexico in CUSMA, with the European Union in CETA, and with countries along the Pacific Rim in CPTPP. It has some best practice provisions in there to protect the environment, to have standards to protect workers and to allow small and medium-sized businesses to benefit from the trade agreement. I think it's an agreement that Canadians and Ukrainians can really be proud of.
