One example, and I apologize if anybody's heard it before, as I'm giving it for about the twentieth time, is that we're regulated by provincial legislation because we're in municipal infrastructure. And when I'm in Chongqing, China, and am trying to explain our political structure, where our water is one guy's responsibility and the fish another's, it doesn't make a lot of sense.
When I think of a product launch and packaging for export that would speak to your provincial level, having references on adopted and proven Canadian technologies is very helpful. Any interaction from the federal to the provincial level so the trade commissioners and the companies would have a provincial-federal letter saying this company is a company in good standing and they have had operating systems for x number of times.... But what we usually get is a letter confirming the absence of negatives. When the letter says, to our knowledge there are no problems with this system and to our knowledge this system hasn't failed, that is not helpful when you're trying to export.
No. We need both the federal and provincial governments to come together and have a positive letter, and you would be amazed that it has not yet been possible to get that after two years of requesting it.
