Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much for joining us today.
Mr. Kingston, I read the message from your President and CEO, John Manley, in the 2014 report. I thought his observations were very insightful. He talked about a problem with the quality of education. In other words, Canada has dropped off in terms of various indicators used in global studies. I share that concern.
We are carrying out a study on the Canadian Renminbi Trading Centre. The fact is that the centre is universally supported. I am very happy to hear your testimony and your observations on the topic. Even so, we may wonder whether our companies and Canada are ready to meet the challenges involved. Last week, witnesses told us that our window of opportunity to use the Canadian Renminbi Trading Centre's competitive advantage was limited. I see that you agree with that.
Can you tell us about other areas of concern? What can the federal government do to ensure that we take full advantage of this business opportunity?
