Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all the witnesses for appearing today. I think each of your organizations is doing some very interesting work.
I'd like to pose a couple of questions to Mr. Brohman.
I think we've all travelled to developing countries. We've gone there with the perception that there probably wouldn't be much of great quality or value in the products being produced in those nations. Then you get there on the ground and see that they have some pretty interesting, high-quality products, especially artisan products. But we don't know about these things in the west.
One of the things that's always struck me is that there's a perception in more developed countries that nothing that comes from Haiti or certain countries in Africa could be of very good quality. Therefore, you don't even bother to look at the products from those countries. How does your organization help build a perception of the quality of products coming from those regions of the world, and how important is that in your business?
