Mr. Chair, I want to make sure that Ms. Freeman can have the floor.
Mr. Arsenault, you worked very hard for us today. As I am the member for the Beauport—Limoilou riding, in Quebec City, I became familiar with the work of Quebec's Community Economic Development Corporation as well as that of the Local Development Centre. What really struck me about these two organizations, is that not only do they offer their expertise and invest money, they generate momentum, in other words, they ensure investments. In turn, this encourages other partners, specifically those in the banking sector, to get involved.
Could you describe to us the effect of labour-sponsored funds of the same type? It is not simply a matter of investing money, they also provide expertise and support entrepreneurs.
