I am sure his wife is missing the rest of the curtains.
Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to our presenters. I had the pleasure of being at the dinner you hosted last week. The enthusiasm for Canada to play a larger role in trade was very evident. There was a lot of enthusiasm among all those individuals.
I take your comments as constructive criticism. Perhaps this committee should take them to heart in terms of how we get involved as members of Parliament and at a ministerial level to show these people that we do care, that we are interested.
I would like Mr. Lingenfelter to expand a little bit. We've talked all about oil and gas here, and I think there are service industries we need to talk about. Mr. Lingenfelter, I think you have a good news story that you need to tell about your involvement above and beyond the commercial aspect.
I know that Nexen is involved in helping out the people of Yemen. Something many people forget is that there is a role for SNC-Lavalin when you're involved, and for Nexen, that goes beyond the dollars and cents of trade. I'd like you to comment a bit on that good news story, and then I'll share the rest of my time with Mr. Cannan.
