 But we're moving today to make a business decision to strengthen our ties and raise our profile in Asia, something that will strengthen our economy and create jobs here at home, with the appointment of an investment and trade commissioner for Asia, Ben Stewart. This is consistent with the advice that I've received from our business community, from our trading partners, and from government officials. We need a representative in Asia who is known to have access to power and government here in British Columbia. That is a critical part of doing successful business in Asia. When I look at our British Columbia economy after deciding to run in provincial politics, I felt that it was really important that we do expand trade. And part of that is because of the experience I've had both in Europe and in Asia in the wine industry, and seeing how difficult it is to establish relationships from afar. And so, yes, I have had experience in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, where we currently and actively are working today. The BC Business Council is excited about the opportunity of the upcoming Premier's trade mission to Asia. It's also excited about today's announcement from the Premier and fully supports a move that will up our game in Asia, raise BC's profile, and help strengthen our relationship with our Asia Pacific trading partners. Ben is also a man whose counsel I value very highly, and someone in whom I have absolute trust. So I am delighted that Ben has agreed to continue his public service, and to work on behalf of all British Columbians, and businesses, and jobs here in our province.
