I want to talk about FedDev, but maybe in context, just to include it if there is time at the end of your comments.
I'd like to hear more about the business initiative start-up on venture capital funding, and also the angel program on the business innovation initiative. As a businessperson, those are important issues to me.
If there's time, maybe you could comment on those, but I'd like to talk a bit about FedDev. Clearly, those of us in business were hit hard in 2008, in the region of southern Ontario. It's a region that has made a large contribution to the manufacturing sector of this country. In response, the Government of Canada acted quickly and created the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario in 2009, something which I truly applaud you for doing.
Understanding that the Federal Economic Development Agency is vital to the re-emergence of southern Ontario, would you please give our committee an update on the agency's activities and possibly provide an example of where the money has been invested?
