Mr. Chair, our plan is to pursue the negotiations in a way that allows us and all countries to achieve increased market access by using a combination of tools and allowing individual countries the flexibility to achieve it. I believe this is critically important. If a country has an over quota tariff, what is referred to as a great deal of water in it, and there are countries that have such over quota tariffs, they can go around and say they need this great big cut in an over quota tariff and that they are compliant, but the reality may be that in terms of increased market access, the result may be zero.
That is why we believe the more appropriate way to ensure that there is real increased market access, the quota itself should be expanded. That is the position we have clearly taken. We believe it is necessary in moving forward on these negotiations that individual countries such as Canada be given the flexibility in which to achieve the objective of increased market access. As I have said to many of our trading partners, be wary of some of the suggestions that purport to provide increased market access which in fact really do not.
