I don't know whether you're familiar with the SEUS-CP Alliance, which is an association of Canadian provinces and U.S. states. It's precisely that.
With your permission, I'm going to answer you in English.
I've been living in the States for 12 years and I'm a little more comfortable in English at this point.
We find that what politicians can really bring to the table is their gravitas. It's very difficult to bring corporate leadership together at any given place, at any given time, and we've been very successful. I think SEUS is an example of that, whereby we've really been able to advance trade and commerce by bringing in the political leadership and their business contingents. We found that to be very successful, certainly in SEUS-Japan, in SEUS-Europe, and now with SEUS-Canada, which was founded in 2007. We had the inaugural meeting, I think you'll recall, in Montreal in 2007. That's certainly one example where we've been very successful.
I personally have been able to work with Canadian consulates in Atlanta and Raleigh, which I have certainly found to be useful, but there doesn't seem to be the same response on a commercial level that we find—certainly at our state level—just in working with industry. And again, I'm not an expert on what Canada does per se in its consulates, but with the individuals I've worked with, they've always seemed underresourced and generally unavailable. So certainly that might be an approach you might want to consider.
