With respect to services the consulate provides directly to citizens, the committee will be aware of a number of incidents that have happened in New York's territory over the last year. There was a tour bus crash in upstate New York involving Canadians. A plane went down. People will remember the explosion at the Rainbow Bridge last November.
When these things happen, it's very important that the consulate have very close ties with local authorities. In this case that was for the governor's office, for example, with respect to the explosion at the Rainbow Bridge. Those ties are, as I said earlier, maintained and advanced through the work of the consulate, including through events at the official residence.
