Thank you, Madam Chair.
I'll ask just one quick question before we wrap up this session. I will address it to Mr. Leigh Smout, who, I believe, was at the Toronto Global Forum, chairing a panel I was on. As chair, he wasn't able to intervene on the subject we were discussing.
We had discussed the rise of protectionist tendencies in the world and our concern as Canadians for the protection of free trade. I wonder, Mr. Smout, if you would like to comment here today on where you see global trends moving and how you feel Canada can continue to push for open borders and free trade.
