Madam Chair, I can assure the member opposite that there is no framework. What we are beginning discussions on is a scoping exercise. This is where all free trade agreements begin. As we move forward, we set aside certain things and we work through other things. We will continue to do that but we do have a very positive track record. I am proud to support supply management. Nothing is going to change on our watch. We will continue to stand firm with our supply managed sectors.
