Good day. I’m happy to be in Mexico once again to meet with my counterparts as we continue our work to modernize and improve the North America Free Trade Agreement. Thank you, Secretary Guajardo, for hosting us so graciously, as you always do. I would note that since we lifted the visa requirement between Canada and Mexico, tourism has grown significantly. In fact, as of September, there has been a 52 percent increase in visitors from Mexico to Canada, including students and tourists. These are welcome numbers, and demonstrate the strength and importance of the Canada-Mexico relationship, and indeed of the entire North American community.
