Thank you, Chair, and thank you to all of the witnesses.
I want to start with a comment for Mr. Wallener, who comes from the Cowichan Valley and whose success story many of us have been watching very closely. It's putting the little Cowichan Valley on the map. I remember that when we were in Guelph talking to Bioenterprise, I started with a description of your company, and they said, “Yes, that's one of our clients.”
I think this idea came to me when considering you as a witness. We hear a lot about these organizations that do take government and private sector funding, but we hadn't heard from the companies that are actually taking this journey, as you are. You quite rightly pointed out that it's really in the incubation and validation stage that we're starting to lose companies. I wonder if you could expand a little more on that.
We have heard a lot from Bioenterprise. Given the way that organizations like Bioenterprise are currently working, we ultimately want to make a very clear recommendation to the government, so in the context of how it's already operating, can you expand a bit on what more we should be doing specifically?
