Madam Speaker, countries like the US and Russia are all subject to the regulations that the European Parliament passed some years ago. It is my understanding that all countries are putting forward the argument that they are making significant effort and are showing some progress in meeting the conditions set out in the European regulations and that they all will be applying for a one year extension. In Canada, it is my expectation that the federal government, through the trade Minister and through External Affairs, will be making some moves to elevate this issue to a major trade issue and taking it up with the respective governments within the European community in the next few weeks. Thank you.
