Trying to get a picture of what that problem is all about. It's one of the things that Canadians are justifiably angry about.

Is the issue having to put a French label on products? How is that a problem? If you're exporting to Canada, you put French on it, and if you export to Mexico (as the other NAFTA partner), you put Spanish on the labels. What was broken in the process that needed to be fixed?

Likely it was a bullying move to begin with but I'm trying to understand what the surface claim is.
