For my part in Halifax, I would give you a resounding “yes” to that, Mr. Armstrong. My business is largely export-driven. The more help I can get that drives dollars across the border into this region, the better it is for Canada. I would also argue that those efforts would pay doubly in that they help us with recruiting. The more people know about the good work happening here, the more people will be attracted, not only people willing to spend dollars but also people looking for great jobs.
