Thank you very much, Mr. Chair, and thank you to our witnesses for coming today.
I'd like to start with the broader issue of facilities. I represent a riding with an important Filipino community and also important communities from Thailand and Vietnam, and so we are in regular interaction when it comes to casework with the various embassies in Southeast Asia. I have a good sense of how good and sometimes how bad the services and the response are as far as individual cases are concerned. I'd be interested in hearing both of your views, Ms. Tapia and Mr. Woo, about embassy facilities' support by the federal government for business development in Southeast Asia.
