Mark Vaile (Lyne, National Party, Minister for Trade) Share this | Hansard source

I thank the Leader of the Opposition for his question. In fact, I dealt with all these issues last week when I was in Europe at a meeting of 17 or 18 core trade ministers in the WTO. I met with Cairns Group colleagues last week, and this morning I spoke on the phone to the deputy USTR, Susan Schwab, in Vietnam, about these matters. I have every confidence that the parliamentary secretary, the member for Dawson, is quite capable of representing these interests in Vietnam.
