Mr. Chair, I just want to emphasize with the witnesses that we've got a large body of very qualified, very experienced, very capable people who clearly understand their job and all the implications of their job and the importance of Canada getting it right on the international stage. I'd ask Ms. Swords, as the senior person, for her assessment or her feeling of how seriously everybody over there took that responsibility of making sure Canada got it right, for all the reasons we would all support.
