First and foremost, our 150 members are responsible for the vast majority of Canada's exports and R and D, so they're already there. The key is getting more Canadian firms there. The key is getting Canadian small and medium-sized enterprises to be aware of those opportunities. In that respect, tools like the trade commissioner service, Export Development Canada, and BDC are essential. The government can't necessarily hope to cover all those regions that you covered with the existing resources. We think there's probably a case to be made for more resources, specifically for the Asian market, so that we don't sacrifice the excellent work that EDC, BDC and the trade commissioner service are already doing in Europe and North America.
