Thank you, Mr. Chair. As a matter of fact, I must be even better because we've used up a minute of my time and I haven't even asked the question.
I'm very pleased to see the minister and his staff here today. I know there are a lot of very good questions that will come out, and I appreciate the depth of answers.
I would like you to expand on one thing that struck me today. It's not the most important question, but it's like when you hear that the only time we work is when the House is in session, that we don't do anything for the rest of the year. In reverse, I hear a lot about your travel of late. I think it's important that people understand just how many requests you do get to travel and how important it is that you are out there representing the government and the Canadian people because of the demands on your time.
I just wonder if you want to expand a bit on the variety of trips that you have taken and what they're about. I've learned how important they are and I think you should share that with the committee. You can use up the entire five minutes if you'd like to do so.
