This has been an important exercise in understanding as we've gone through this committee, because we have dealt with industries that are specific to regions. It is important for us to have this dialogue and this opportunity to explain to other Canadians--not just the four or five of us sitting around this table--the importance of our various industries across the country, and not just in the regions we're working in. So thank you for that.
