Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Barton, for your contributions to these reports, as well as your contributions to the public policy development in Canada, frankly. I have to say that you are offering what I think is the best in the Canadian tradition of giving back to one's country. I had the pleasure of meeting you when you did some similar work for the Association of the Universities and Colleges of Canada, so it's great to see you back. I really did appreciate reading your reports.
As much as I would like to talk to you about the re-skilling aspects of it, because I think there's more to be said on that.... Hopefully I'll have a chance to get to that in the second round, but for this part of it, I'd like to focus on talking about your ideas on growing Canada's exports and getting our businesses to export more. Given the current trade policies being enunciated by President Trump and given the opportunities we have, perhaps, with the Trans-Pacific Partnership, what opportunities do you see ahead, in a sort of large point of view, for Canadian companies to expand their export opportunities?
