Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would also like to thank the witnesses for coming here today.
My question is about my concern regarding the state of readiness of domestic markets, the sub-national markets. I would like to begin my intervention by quoting the coalition of business groups your organizations are a part of. In 2009, a press release said the following: “The coalition feels that the provinces must first of all put their own affairs in order, to avoid having their efforts to obtain the best possible access to European markets stymied.“
That was a little over two years ago. In two years, what has really changed to give you greater confidence? In 2011, do you think that everything is in place to secure the greatest possible access to European markets?
