On the countries we choose to have witnesses from, we seem to agree on Australia. We're not certain about the others. We'd certainly welcome suggestions from all of you.
Mr. Menzies.

I would like to see New Zealand added to that list. It has a very unique history, especially in its agricultural sector, of going from huge exorbitant subsides to flipping a hundred and eighty degrees. I think it's more than just agriculture now, because that whole thing has spun off into a culture of competitiveness. I'd like to hear that story too.

I would like to add the agreement with the four Central American countries. I would have liked us to invite officials from these countries to meet with us. I am talking about the agreement between Canada and the four Central American countries. Anyway, this is a suggestion.

Mr. André, would you give that to the clerk as an item for the next subcommittee meeting? We'll discuss it there. If we stick to that process we'll end up with a lot more focused meetings here.
The meeting is adjourned.
