International Trade committee  Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. I'm Susan Bincoletto. I'm the assistant deputy minister for international business and I'm Canada's chief trade commissioner. I'm appearing today with a slew of colleagues. Together we're going to be doing the Go Global workshops that Minister Fast has been spearheading, and we will show the cooperation happening among our federal friends.

International Trade committee  Thank you, Minister. I should say that what we're trying to do is modernize the way we access SMEs. We are currently leveraging other government departments and organizations like EDC, CCC and BDC, as well as NRC. They all dabble in the same space of working with small and medium-sized companies.
