Mr. Speaker, as I said in my speech earlier, we take the responsibility to ensure the safety and security of our diplomats very seriously.
With respect to the global commerce strategy which we are launching in budget 2007, we will be helping Canadian companies succeed in global markets. That will include having some enhanced commercial services in new markets by opening offices in Asia, which the member was specifically asking about. This is the path that we are going down.
In answer to his specific question, the services that he is talking about have been eliminated. We continue to have services in Rome, Moscow and Tokyo, and Canadian embassies will serve those constituents.
