Yes, absolutely. To give you a little more of his CV, he has served as Canada's ambassador to Cuba as well as ambassador to the United States. He was in Cuba from 1986-89, and he was ambassador to Washington from 2000-05. He was also assistant deputy minister at the Department of Foreign Affairs.
I spoke to him the week he was appointed, and he really looks forward to re-engaging. He has the language skills. He understands the region. He is a career diplomat and a lawyer, and I think Canada will be well represented by him.
