Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you all for your time here today.
I'll start with some questions for the Fonds de solidarité des travailleurs du Québec representatives.
I know that my colleague, Mr. Caron, also studied the impact of the credit. How many workers benefit from your investment program? If I am not mistaken, I believe it is around 600,000. I would like to understand the impact that the fund has on investors as well as on the companies it invests in. Many of our discussions here in committee are about support for small and medium-sized businesses. This issue is of interest to all members because we know that Canada's economy relies heavily on SMEs.
I would like to understand your role. First, how many contributors do you have, and what do you do for them? Second, what is your role in the investment world and in supporting SMEs in this country?
