Thank you very much, Mr. Chair, and I'd like to thank the witnesses for being here.
During the constituency week, I had a round table in Oshawa, focusing on trade opportunities. We have the new CETA. We have the new CPTPP . We had representatives of EDC, Global Affairs, manufacturers and agricultural interests there.
I think the chamber of commerce representatives hit the nail on the head when they say, “Who does what? No one knows.” Businesses are very anxious to expand and export, but they really don't know how to go about it. I brought these people in to see if we could make some connections. I don't know how it's going to land. We're going to follow up, and things like that.
I wanted to talk to you, Mr. Fowler, because some of the food manufacturers, especially with meat and cheese, think there is a huge market in Europe. There is interest over there, but they can't quite figure out how to get there. They said there are some Ontario programs, but they weren't really able to connect with the federal side of things. The Government of Canada does have the agri-marketing program. I don't know if you know very much about that, or if it's ever used.
