Mr. Keddy, when I started this operation in India in 2001, I went to the consulate in Chandigarh. I met Mr. Sobti. He recommended a few people to me. At that time, I was thinking to start this operation in the Punjab. I tried for a licence in Delhi and Bombay and Madras, but I was refused. I did use their services. I spent almost half a year in India, on the ground. I met Scot Slessor, the consul general. I went to Scot's house for dinner. I used the opportunity to ask Scot if he would visit my plant sometime. It would show the local officials that we were connected to the Canadian government. If they did anything, then obviously we could always contact the Government of Canada.
He requested that somebody in Bombay, but there was.... Actually, we were having an annual meeting. The president of Savers from America and some people from Goodwill and the Salvation Army were there. I asked if the Canadian consulate could send somebody from the Canadian government to join us, just to give the local officials and commissioners....
Unfortunately, nobody was there. Maybe next year I will try again. They are good people. They listen to us. They respect us.
