Yes, it is my view.
I fully accept the notion that you don't negotiate in public. I understand that, but that being said, we know very little about the state of talks with the United States, which is very unusual. It may be just the fact that we're dealing with a difficult administration and going public on anything, even the broad outline of the talks, could cause problems, but I'm concerned that we don't know exactly what is on the agenda.
There was talk about a broad security and economic relationship. Well, we know that's not going to come to be, but I would think we could have a little more clarity on the scope of these discussions in Washington, understanding that it is very difficult to deal with that administration.
I certainly understand the constraints, but I think we could use a little more clarity, Mr. Mantle.
