Thank you, Minister.
As members of Parliament, we hear a lot of complaints about the bureaucracy in all different departments, but there's one area that I actually have had nothing but praise for in the last five or six years. That is the trade commissioner service.
I've noticed that it's very important that we take advantage of Canada's trade agreements, especially to scale up and to export to new markets.
Can the minister explain how the trade commissioner service assists our forest-sector businesses in their efforts to export to new markets?
