Mr. Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for his question. He talked about Japan and so I will too.
One thing that often came up when the international trade committee was examining the trans-Pacific partnership was that Japan was so happy to know that we would have an agreement on fish and seafood coming from the Maritimes and the Pacific. The Japanese are pleased to know that they will be able to buy these products without tariffs. There will be an increase in exports of lobster, fish, snow crab and oysters, foods that people in Japan love to eat.
I want to assure my colleagues that we are going to do everything in our power to ensure that our natural resources reach Asia.
