Foreign Affairs committee  That's a major part of our day-to-day work. As I said, I think it's quite clear to our network across the United States that the economy is the number one preoccupation. That's the information we're looking for and that we're receiving from them.

Foreign Affairs committee  Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. Honourable members, thank you for this invitation to speak to you about the Canada-U.S. relations dimensions of Canada's foreign policy. As you know, it is a topic that has received an enormous amount of attention across the country in recent weeks.
