I do have a quick question, or what I hope will be a quick question.

Mr. Legault, in page 6 of the opinion that's been provided here you indicate that you consulted with the trade law section and that ACPPA could run afoul of—or more specifically that amendments to the act that would more define the requirement with respect to Winnipeg, Mississauga, and Montreal may rule afoul of—article 1106 of NAFTA, but also of the Canada-U.S. Free Trade Agreement, which was the precursor agreement.

Can you provide an answer to the committee concerning what aspect of what article of the Canada-U.S. FTA would have bound the understanding of ACPPA at the time?
