Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, witnesses, for coming here and enlightening us.
I will start with you, Ms. Materi, because you have experience living outside of Canada. You've lived in India and Australia. I'd like you to comment on whether or not Canadian companies understand foreign business cultures. This Monday we had a witness here who mentioned that to do business in China, you need to understand how business works there. Of course, I was born in India, and I grew up there. I can tell you that the business attitude in India is different from the attitude in Canada.
Do you find that Canadian companies are adequately informed about the personal aspect of business cultures in other countries? If not, how would you recommend that we address this information deficit?
