Yes, actually, I think we do. I know there have been some reductions, but if you look at the amount of overlap with provincial trade offices and NGOs like ours that are actively engaged in trade, I think if we can find new and creative ways...the existing organizations are there. It doesn't mean we need to have another overlapping layer but just that we need to find more effective ways to mobilize organizations to fit up into the trade strategy. For example, as is happening now, trade commissioners could be embedded inside organizations like ours. I think that's a very effective way to pull it together without having to overlap and get another layer of organization.
