Thanks very much.

Surprising as it may seem there are large Canadian companies that aren't
subsidiaries of US companies.<<
David, I am aware of this fact! However, I have a large list of agencies in the
book, many of which operate in Canada. Some are not even based in the US, I
believe. I even have a few Canadian companies listed. Still, my primary
intention is not to feed my readers fish, but to teach them how to fish. I've
provided a list of agencies to get them started, but more importantly I've
explained how to go about tracking down hundreds more. It's a big world, and I
don't think I have room to list them all (or the time to call every consulate).
Thanks for your reminder,
Peter Kent
