Thank you very much.
It's terrific to be here on the committee with you. You and I are colleagues, and colleagues do our work as we do.
The process that governs the court does not preclude additional actions to be taken in a court of law. In that example, there is an action in the court of law, but the CORE can certainly initiate an investigation, make her findings public, provide her findings to me and advise the withdrawal of services.
The companies I have talked to find those services tremendously useful when you're operating globally. You're looking for the services of our trade commissioner in our missions abroad. In many instances you also are looking for the export insurance that is underwritten by a Crown corporation like Export Development Canada.
Is she able to initiate an investigation? The answer is yes.
