Okay.
This summer I was talking to an ambassador who is stationed in Canada. We were having an introductory conversation. The ambassador mentioned to me that they were looking for a particular potential software service and asked me if I knew of any potential companies in Canada that might be able to help them out. I thought that was nice, but at the same time, I thought to myself that in the country where they're looking for this service it seemed odd to me that our trade commissioner or somebody would not be able to connect the dots to that.
My question is, do the trade commissioners in all the countries constantly follow the contracts and the tenders, whether government or private? Do they have a list of companies in Canada that may be able to meet this, and is it refreshed? In this particular case, how could a government contract in that country be missed when there's at least one company in Canada that I'm aware of that could have met that service? How does that happen?
