Thank you, Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for being here today.
Mr. Everson, I was following your words carefully. You had a great paragraph that government, through diplomacy and trade negotiations, has a big role to play in growing and maintaining our market access. You made reference to Minister Ritz and Minister Fast.
Given that yesterday Minister Fast was talking about using our embassy resources to promote trade between Canada and the countries in which our embassies are located, building upon what you said and building upon what Minister Fast was talking about yesterday, can you elaborate on the role that a Canadian embassy in Europe, for example, could play in promoting the sale of canola, which can grow stronger through CETA, with European countries, given that CETA will be coming into play?
