As I said, Startup Canada works with over 200,000 entrepreneurs, including in York region, and at the earliest stage our entrepreneurs are looking for access to capital and access to information. One of the biggest opportunities that the Government of Canada has is making all of the investments in innovation and infrastructure for entrepreneurs actually work for Canada. There are investments in accelerators, incubators, small business programs, IRAPs, and SR and ED tax credits. We're supporting superclusters. How does the mainstream Canadian engage with that and the mainstream entrepreneur? I think the biggest thing that our entrepreneurs ask for is access to capital, so that's why we support them with financial literacy and financing skills, help to connect them with financial institutions, including working with the Business Development Bank of Canada. But what they really need is access to information to be able to access the support they're looking for as quickly as they possibly can.
