Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Mulroney, for being here again.
For some of us, even those who refer to themselves as optimists, the glass seems to be perpetually half empty. That's understandable and that's okay, but I think one of the measures of the ability to conduct the mission is the level of activity of our civilians in DFAIT, CIDA, and so on, outside the wire. Can you comment on the level of activity they have been able to conduct?
