Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I would like to thank our three witnesses too. First, I would like to talk to Ms. Wright.
I appreciated the frankness of your presentation. You really got down to business, we might say. It was really very helpful.
In terms of the plan, the example used was the Team Canada missions, which, unfortunately were not followed up on. Mr. Gupta also took the opportunity to talk about the resources required to launch a plan.
For 10 or 20 years, Canada’s approach has always been to think things happen by magic, which is unfortunate. Things have been allowed to slide, with very little investment made to support Canadian services abroad, including our trade commissioners, and our network of embassies, delegations and representatives in a given country.
To what extent will you have trust in the plan if it does not come with resources?
