We spend a lot of time working with our counterparts at the provincial and territorial level within the bureaucracies of those jurisdictions. That begins with information sharing, ensuring that our partners in the provinces and territories have a good understanding of the negotiations in which we're engaged, the topics that are coming to the forefront in those negotiations and the negotiating partners we're contemplating sitting down with. They have a full and comprehensive opportunity to provide us with that jurisdiction's views to inform the Canadian negotiating position that is going to be put forward.
We do that in formal ways, such as inviting their comments through formal Canada Gazette notices on specific consultations, and we have a number of internal mechanisms that we deploy in order to stay in close contact.
In the course of the last week, I have met with provincial and territorial counterparts through a mechanism that we call C-Trade, which is the federal-provincial-territorial trade consultative body, through the CUSMA FPT consultations committee, which is a specific committee that we established at the time we implemented and put CUSMA into force to ensure that we would have good federal-provincial-territorial exchange of information, and again today, through the FPT ADM committee, which is a committee at the assistant deputy minister level across the country, discussing a very similar topic.
Those engagements allow us to take up both general and specific issues of interest to the jurisdictions, and then, in the context of a specific ongoing negotiation, they would be supplemented by engagements that we create specific to that negotiation. That can be much more involved, including almost day-to-day interaction between provincial and territorial officials and the negotiators at the table.
