Canada-China Relations committee  Well, I'm thinking Madam Freeland was unable to join us. I'm more than happy to take the extra time to so that we can.... We'll let her off the hook for this.

Canada-China Relations committee  It is our second-largest trade partner when you look at what we export. For example, with reference to agricultural goods, 13% of Canada's trade in agricultural goods is with China. That's higher than the total for overall trade with China, so it's absolutely critical that we eng

Canada-China Relations committee  When Donald Trump launched his trade war with China, U.S farmers were compensated to the tune of, I think, $20 billion U.S., which would be the entire GDP of Newfoundland and Labrador or ten times the budget of Canadian agriculture and agri-food. If you are going to do those thi

Canada-China Relations committee  Let me say that I enjoyed that particular session of that meeting. Yes, I would, absolutely. I think the government recognizes as well that LNG is necessary. I keep getting mixed signals. We talk about the Japanese ambassador's comments. Japan is looking to transition. If you'r

Canada-China Relations committee  Of the limited contributions of significance Canada could make, I think that the move to LNG would probably be the second most significant contribution. The largest producer of greenhouse gas emissions in Canada is the Government of Canada, followed by the provincial governmen

Canada-China Relations committee  I'm not familiar with the figures you presented. I do handle the trade side. Fortunately, we have a natural resource centre that focuses on energy, the environment and the energy transition, but I'd be curious to see the numbers for India too. I imagine their numbers are going up

Canada-China Relations committee  On the Indo-Pacific strategy, separate from the TPP, I'd expect the government to release an update on the strategy and implementation steps. If that doesn't come out, then I'd be worried. It's time for the government to be able to show what it's done and to put out a report card

Canada-China Relations committee  Yes, I am.

Canada-China Relations committee  I read all the committee testimony before coming in.

Canada-China Relations committee  I was really hoping to use the time for other things. We have a strong stance. I think everyone knows the logic of that, and the problems with that have been described by others. Dr. Lilly is an honorary westerner, so I could attribute this to her to some degree, but yes: Time a

Canada-China Relations committee  Let me start by saying we're huge fans of the Indo-Pacific strategy. We think it corrects a lot of things that were missing, or builds upon some of the successes in the Americas strategy, so we have very specific complaints. However, on the TPP, what we need is a degree of modes

Canada-China Relations committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. I would also like to thank the committee members for inviting me. It's good to be here again. It's been over three years since we last appeared before this committee. It was also a pleasure to hear Canada West Foundation's work referenced during the commi

International Trade committee  I'm sorry, I thought you were asking other witnesses.

International Trade committee  What Japan has done well is they've done what all of our competitors have done: the national planning, the ability to get their data across integrated supply and production chains, the ability to make investments that are based on data and data informed by decision-making. That

International Trade committee  Lack of alignment with jurisdictions along economic corridors has been an issue. There has been improvement. The prairie provinces— Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta—have signed a memorandum of understanding to do what's called for in the national planning: co-operate on data co
