We had a special chat with them. It was rather interesting. At that time, they were pushing members of this committee to push you to move this agreement along and were suggesting that somehow Canada was the laggard or at least the slower one in the process in terms of the negotiations.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2963815\" data-originallang=\"en\">I've heard some feedback that this might not be the case, but I'd like to get a clarification from you, if I may, please. You've been going at this for a little while. I don't know if you think this is breakneck speed, but I think we're making progress. I'm sure that sometimes to you it feels painful, that progress, but\u2014</p>",

Nous avons eu une conversation bien sp\u00e9ciale avec eux. C'\u00e9tait plut\u00f4t int\u00e9ressant. Lors de leur comparution, ils ont encourag\u00e9 les membres du comit\u00e9 \u00e0 vous pousser \u00e0 faire avancer cet accord. Ils ont laiss\u00e9 entendre que le Canada tirait de l'arri\u00e8re ou, du moins, qu'il retardait le processus des n\u00e9gociations. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2963815\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'ai appris par la suite que ce n'\u00e9tait peut-\u00eatre pas le cas, mais j'aimerais vous demander une clarification. Vous travaillez sur ce dossier depuis un certain temps. Je ne sais pas si vous pensez que les choses \u00e9voluent \u00e0 une vitesse folle, mais selon moi, nous faisons des progr\u00e8s. Je suis s\u00fbr que, parfois, le rythme des progr\u00e8s vous para\u00eet p\u00e9nible, mais... </p>"
