Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Mr. Stewart-Patterson, I appreciated your closing few words, that we move quickly and bring walls down. I'm not quoting you verbatim, but I think they were along those lines, and I couldn't agree with you more. I think part of the success that previous governments had, in the early 1990s, was from being very proactive in getting out to seek markets.
I had the privilege of chairing this committee under Jim Peterson a couple of years ago. Part of the efforts were to make sure that the commercial attachés or trade commissioners, or however you want to title them, had extended tenures so that they could become more effective.
As a start, have you seen change in that area, from your perspective?
