Mr. Speaker, not only have we done that today and on previous days, but we have been doing it for a very long time. We expect the United States to fully comply with its international trade obligations. This is why we will continue to fight the extraordinary challenge it has launched in the NAFTA system. At the same time as we continue to fight all of these disputes at NAFTA and the WTO, we remain open to a negotiated settlement of this issue. We will continue to follow that two track approach.
