International Trade committee  That's very good. Keeping on the consultation theme, I'm going to go to Angelo from Unifor. Between February 2017 and November 30, 2018, there were 1,245 stakeholder engagements with first nations, unions, businesses, organizations, etc. How important was that consultation du

International Trade committee  Can you clarify that lack of consultation?

International Trade committee  Are you talking about the previous government, just for clarification?

International Trade committee  Just specifically, can you speak to the importance of the provisions in the rules of origin that emphasized high-wage labour?

International Trade committee  Thank you very much. Thanks to everyone for their presentations. This government has consulted broadly and I was glad to hear from Chief Perry that the first nations, for the first time, have been consulted in a meaningful way in a trade deal.

International Trade committee  Thank you very much. I guess the obvious question is what I asked before about section 232 and if it were ever extended to the auto industry, the ramifications...just to get it on record from you, please.

International Trade committee  With the auto manufacturers and also the parts, and overall on your opinions of the deal as it is today versus where we were 10 months ago, would you suggest that we do this as soon as possible? What kinds of time frames would you suggest the government follow in a ratification p

International Trade committee  Thank you. Brian, you as well as Mathew mentioned your support for Minister Morneau's Bill C-101. In particular, we're asking for unanimous consent so that we can get it through expeditiously. Can you explain to this committee the importance of Bill C-101 as it relates to gettin

International Trade committee  Yes. It's Bill C-101 about the surge, the safeguards.

International Trade committee  Thank you very much to all our witnesses for coming in today. I'll start with Mathew from the Canadian manufacturers association. You made a fairly powerful statement. You felt that the removal of the section 232 tariff onto itself was more important—and I'm going to paraphras

International Trade committee  Some of the people early on had suggested settling for a quota. As well, the Ford government actually even stated that we should have removed our counter-tariffs as some kind of gesture to the United States that.... I don't know. I can't follow the logic, actually. In going about

International Trade committee  Good. Does anybody wish to add to that?

International Trade committee  I was surprised that during question period today there weren't any questions asked about the canola issue, given that it was so important. I agree with you, and I hope this will be raised.
