Mr. Speaker, today, after consulting extensively with the provincial governments and with all Canadians, we tabled our initial offer in Geneva. As promised last June, the government has posted the initial offer on our website for all Canadians to read.
I am very proud to inform the House that some of Canada's closest trading partners, including the United States, Australia and the European Union, have now agreed to follow our lead and release their own initial offers.
We are committed to an open and transparent approach to these negotiations to ensure that Canadians remain the best informed citizens in the world.
