Okay. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Mr. Taylor, you had made comments, the echoes from the Plains of Abraham, about the linguistic duality of our country. Certainly that's a very important asset in dealing with the French world and the English world, but there's an additional one here, which is our multiculturalism. Literally, Canada has all the nations of the world within one country and is unique in that aspect. A tremendous amount can be gained by better engaging the diaspora of the various communities internationally.
But my question is more toward the United States, Washington, and the embassy in Washington, and about my understanding of the secretariat that is being formed there, that's being set up for advocacy and as lobbyists for Canada's interest. How does that manifest itself and how many are engaged in that? Is there room to put in more resources? What have they been able to do? Do they influence Canada-U.S. policy? Could you tell us a little more about that group?.
