Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'm going to spend my time with Mr. Devlen.
Your title of director of transatlantic programs stood out to me.
I've been a member of a discussion group among Germany, Canada and the United States on climate change and the opportunities it brings from a clean-technology point of view. I was president of the Guelph Chamber of Commerce. Our mayor was involved in this dialogue with Berlin and the United States. We met at our consulate office in our embassy in Berlin. To add to Mr. Bergeron's list, there's also environmental diplomacy and opportunities. Our embassy brought together some businesses and municipalities to look at how we're reacting to the opportunities that climate change brings. We were able to attract a business from Denmark. It's located in Guelph because of our diplomatic efforts at our embassy.
COP28 just wound up. There are a lot of opportunities coming out globally. Canada is in a leading role, in terms of clean technology.
Could you talk about how our diplomatic service needs to be able to respond to these new opportunities that climate change brings to Canada?
