I have lived this for about a decade, raising capital. I'm an immigrant to the province of Saskatchewan in many ways. I've lived outside of Canada for many years. The financial institutions of Canada are extremely risk-averse. In the U.S., much more risk is taken. We need to increase the risk appetite, because if you don't take the risk you don't get the massive rewards, and the rewards far outweigh the risk. We have Shopify and other companies that have built incredible platforms. There has to be an understanding that there's going to be risk. Things can go wrong, and there have to be supports when that happens.
