I I think it's actually the rubber hitting the road on a lot of the framework that's been in place for a while, but just was never really exercised.
Um, it was just, you know, fifteen years ago, Canada had free trade agreements with just a handful of countries.
United States, Mexico, Israel, Chile.
I think that was it.
And now we have free trade agreements with more than half the global economy.
We're the only country in the world.
That has binding terra-free access to, well, for the most part, uh, you know, uh all of North America, Europe, the Trans-Pacific Partnership, Canada-South Korea Free Trade Agreement, Canada-Israel.
Like we Chile, we have South America, we're part of the AZL, we're the only country in the world that's a member of the Francophonie and the Commonwealth.
Like we have a massive global footprint.
And diaspora politics, we always talk about the negative side of it, but the positive side of it is that it creates two-way relationships that could be leverage.
for trade and opportunity.
So the global reach of Canada has been on paper now for a good st a good decade.
And you know, it was Stephen Harper that did the Canada Free Trade.
We negotiated with Ambassador Hillman.
It was Kirsten Hillman, who was our chief negotiator for the Trans Pacific Partnership, uh, which earned her um, you know, such great respect amongst all parties and and um uh I think thought leadership in the country such that she went to Washington
Washington and and did her work there.
Um so so we've had those we've had that capacity on the table.
And um I I know it's true because when I was Minister of Industry at Stephen Harper, we had a really aggressive plan to uh start going into markets and to start selling.
We had a remember we had a road trip we were gonna do into Germany, into Poland, and Italy, because we had certain commodities and some MOUs and some some existing commercial agreements that were gonna be signed and we were gonna leverage those and show
showcase them and like we like that stuff.
