Canada is small, granted, but three people to an annual conference of this magnitude, and at this point in history is lamentable.

@Bob … thanks for that, and I thought my original list was short. Glad to see Flaherty is there, but this is PM stuff – Harper and his assistants need to be there too imho. There is no better place to get a pulse on what the current situation is around the world.
