With the indulgence of the committee, I would like to ask a very brief question to the witnesses.
First of all, I'm concerned about Canada's image in the world. Canada has always been a leader. By virtue of whatever delays that are taking place, we are looking very negative, and I'm concerned about the image of Canada. Hopefully, the two departments are quite aware of that as well.
The other thing I'm concerned about is the sense that is out there--whether or not it's true--that departments tend to work in silos, that sometimes there's bickering between departments and there's not the cooperation that is needed. Maybe you can comment on that, whether you've encountered that and whether we can have full cooperation to get this thing implemented as fast as possible, because it's not giving Canada any credit out there internationally.
