Thank you, Mr. Menzies.
Mr. Julian, would you mind, just before I go to you, if I bring a little bit more into this? It's normal for a committee at the first meeting to hear from the departmental officials, and I think if, through the clerk and in correspondence with the officials, we focus them a little bit, that would be a very productive meeting.
Something else that could and probably should be done, since we're dealing with trade issues, is we should ask the researchers to put together material from business organizations, and in some cases maybe from individual businesses, because businesses really are the ones involved in trade. Have them put together some information on the issues that seem to be of most interest to them, and the positions on those issues, and suggestions they've given to government, whether it be, for example, the Federation of Independent Business, or whatever organization or business it is. Have the researchers provide a document for the committee to help direct us, before we start getting off into the individual issues, and there are a lot of those that we could deal with.
It's just a suggestion. I'll go now to the committee. Of course, you decide.
Mr. Julian, followed by Mr. Cannan.
