Thank you, Mr. Chair.
With the rise of extreme weather events and natural disasters, tackling climate change is now more important than ever. The good news is that Canadians and Canadian businesses are ready to step up. In 2022, Export Development Canada set the goal of providing $10 billion in support for clean-tech businesses in 2025. As of December 31, 2023, EDC has exceeded its target by providing more than $12 billion in financing and insurance solutions.
Could you share how many businesses were supported through these investments and also provide some examples to our committee?
