International Trade committee  As I've just mentioned, we were also part of the consultation process. We continue to work through that process and hope that we will be heard, but thus far, we've seen no change in direction as it relates to the automotive sector. We're hoping we can be convincing enough that we will be able to do that.

International Trade committee  Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Two things are in play here. Perhaps I need to clarify that. My reference was to the participation and consultation as it related to the economic analysis work. We are not part of that. The other part of it is the ongoing consultations with the negotiating team, which we are a part of and which we value very much.

International Trade committee  And we certainly appreciate that. Certainly the auto side of it is something that requires a lot more work, but we are part of the general goods and services section, and there's been a lot of language exchanged on that.

International Trade committee  Mr. Chairman, thank you very much, and thank you to all the committee members. It's a pleasure to be before you, and we certainly appreciate the opportunity. I want to begin by saying that many of the statistics Mr. Stanford has related to you are statistics we fully support as well.
