Good morning and thank you so much for joining us. I have to say how thrilled I am to have our trade committee here in New Brunswick.
I have a number of questions. As someone who worked for almost two decades in trade education, my first questions are for you, Mr. Richardson.
With the preparedness of New Brunswick exporters for trade, we have companies like Cooke, McCain, and Irving that have in-house expertise, as you have mentioned. How prepared, in your experience, are New Brunswick exporters for entering into the TPP market members?
