Mr. Speaker, I found out at 8 o'clock on Friday night and arrangements could not be made, for security reasons, for me to get into the summit.
A meeting was arranged. As I said earlier there was a conference call and the minister of trade was present. The two ambassadors of our countries were present. A number of officials were present. Secretary Veneman was present. I was present on the phone and led the discussion at that time. As a result our officials are in Washington this afternoon to continue the discussion.
