As you note, we did send out a broad-based consultation request through the Canada Gazette for input on the FTA. I think most provinces responded with their interest, either written or verbally. We have a consultation mechanism through what we call the Canada C-Trade group, where we regularly assess FTAs and where a number of provinces also indicated their interest. Key exporting associations, mostly in agriculture but in mining as well, also indicated their interest. We did receive a number of letters and emails from NGOs as well.
