Mr. Walker, I'd like to follow up on one fact you mentioned in your presentation. You said something about 17% of consumers not trusting manufacturers.
Can you elaborate on that. Where does that come from?

Thank you very much.
Do I still have time, Mr. Chair?

Ms. Ramji, thank you very much. I'll talk fast, and I'll ask you to answer quickly too if you can.
I appreciated very much your specific recommendation about expanding the Dose of Valley program. Are there specific cities in India, China, Europe, or Brazil you think we should focus on?

Super quickly, last question.
Jim Balsillie has complained in public and to me that a problem with the Canadian start-up universe is that as soon as great companies like yours get founded in Canada and show success and start to scale up, they get bought up by the Googles and the Facebooks of the world, and that we don't really create Canadian digital champions.

Is that going to happen to you guys, and how can we stop it from happening?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I'd like to start with Mr. Lang.
I won't ask you to brag about your great west coast weather. I have my dad visiting from Alberta this week, and I've already heard enough western bragging about our terrible climate.
I was really interested in the point you made about the difficulty in commercializing our research in Canada. That's something I hear about a lot. Can you talk more specifically about what we're not getting right in that space and what we could be doing to do it better?

In your experience, which country, or maybe which cluster of universities, really gets this right? Is there a best practice that we should be following?

Thank you very much, Mr. Lang.
I'd like to ask Mr. Reynolds a couple of questions.
What share of your business is done with the United States?

How effective is NAFTA for you? Do you feel that for your U.S. customers, doing business with you is essentially the same as it would be with a U.S. company, or are there still some barriers? Is it a little bit harder for you than it would be if you were across the border?

Do you think we're going to be seeing any impact from companies like yours? We talk a lot about the impact of the weaker dollar.

You spoke very specifically, Mr. Reynolds, about how to hit some of the goals we have on getting small and medium-sized enterprises more involved in exporting and in trade. There's going to have to be an expansion of the resources available to them. It's clear that you've thought a lot about this. Do you have a specific sense of how many additional resources and what kind we need?

Colleagues, can we begin? I think we have a quorum now.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), the study of the positive effects—and maybe not only positive effects—of the global markets action plan.
I'm delighted that we have such excellent witnesses speaking to us today. We're going to start with Andy Gibbons who is the director of government relations for WestJet.
Thanks for being here, Mr. Gibbons. We'll give you ten minutes to begin and then we'll ask you many brilliant and inspired questions.
