Thank you, Mr. Chair.
First, my apologies, Mr. Campbell, because if there's one witness I wanted to hear, it was you, but because Ed Holder talked so long in the House on the Canada-Panama agreement, I didn't get on until after question period. That's why I'm late. I didn't hear your remarks, so I'm somewhat at a disadvantage.
You did say that in Asia, relationships matter. As the chair said in terms of our involvement with the Japanese, in my riding it's because Anne of Green Gables is there and is a big drawing card for the Japanese in P.E.I. tourism. But even in selling commodities to Japan, we're an island. We sell non-GMO canola. Rob will call it rapeseed, but it does give us, I think, an advantage in the Japanese market.
On the Osaka consulate, I did feel when we were in Osaka that the Japanese, in that area at least, felt quite offended by that decision. If we were to make a recommendation that the consulate be reinstated, which I think we should—I'm not asking you for the implications on the government—what would your view be on the feeling of the Japanese for having done that? That's up to the government to decide if we do it, but would they still be offended by the fact we closed it? Would it make any difference to reopen it?
