Thank you for the question.
I think an environment has been created where the success of our trade commitments and free trade negotiations is even more important for Canada.
It's important to provide Canadian businesses with trade opportunities and market access of immediate importance. So we try to find ways to advance our negotiations more efficiently than before. Our approach has been effective for a number of years, but things were not moving very quickly.
That said, we are having discussions within the department about how to speed up the process and focus our discussions on the most important issues from a trade perspective in order to make a difference for Canadians.
That approach has changed a lot over the past few years.
