Mr. Speaker, the Member is indeed correct. The discussions centred around the removal of barriers to trade interprovincially and territorially/provincially in Canada. Our position is that we will participate. We will be at the table. We will have a senior negotiator there and our position is that we will keep an open mind, yet we will seek to protect the BIP, we will seek to protect the affirmative action program, to name but two. There may be other things we will seek to protect. That is our situation at the present time, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.
