You used the example of the passports and the border. Clearly, if 16,000 of our clients are heavily involved in the U.S. marketplace and access is a big issue, this gets to Foreign Affairs and International Trade. My colleague is the assistant deputy minister for the U.S. I'm on his committee looking at the western hemisphere travel initiative because this is a huge stumbling block for a lot of Canadians.
So we have to look at whether to have alternate means of identification or get more people to have passports. It's a very simple thing, but it's time-consuming. But it's clear that whether it's in the U.S. or whether it's in China or whether it's in the U.K., you have to have people-to-people contacts. So how do we get people from your community into those marketplaces, and how do we offer them services?
The new globalization issues are things like corporate social responsibility. It's things like the knowledge of other countries and their needs, and you can only do that by going and being part of it. So I find your comment that it's getting faster is very true. We no longer can take two months to reply to a letter. You've got 24 hours to reply to the e-mail. Things are spinning very quickly, and Canadian companies, to be globally competitive, have to be part of that game. So how do governments facilitate, how do governments assist, and how do governments compete?
