Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Thank you, gentlemen, and the lady before you, for coming here today.
On February 27 it was announced by the federal government and the three maritime provinces that they were going to come up with a sort of marketing strategy. There was a combined half a million dollars from the federal government and the three provincial governments in order to do a variety of things: media campaigns, retail promotions, market research, and consumer promotion and all of that.
Were your agencies or companies involved in any of this? Was your advice sought, not just by the federal people, but by the provincial people as well, on how they should proceed?
