Thank you very much for your question, Member.
Mr. Chair, I will begin to answer and then I'll turn it over to my colleague, Ronnie Hayes, who's in the trade commissioner service.
Diversification is very important to seek out new markets. The government has been making a concerted effort with respect to both finding new markets and developing new products that we can sell in these markets, new value-added products. I was posted to our embassy in Japan, and we focused very much on selling new value-added products in the Japanese market, especially with respect to high-rise buildings, in which Canada has great expertise.
The diversification of new markets and the diversification of the products we produce are very, very important and a high priority for the government and the department.
With that, I'll turn it over to Ronnie.
