Thank you for the quality of your presentations.
If I understand your comments correctly, Canada will have influence in the rest of the world as long as the rest of the world is under the impression that Canada is able, not just to carry messages for the Americans, but to maintain a dialogue with them. In recent years, for example, the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America seems to me to have been pretty much a failure, in the sense that it stayed behind closed doors and was not something in which the population as a whole was involved.
You mentioned the importance of economic relationships, of an integrated economy and of border operations. Would it not be really useful on both sides of the border to get the people a little more familiar with the importance and the realities of these things?
