Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I'll start by tackling an issue you raised in your opening remarks when you said the microeconomic concerns sometimes at the firm level need a focused approach, in addition to a competitive environment at the macroeconomic level.
In the first few years as a member of Parliament, in the last parliament I sat on the status of women committee and during a study on the economic inequities that exist in Canada, the lack of access to capital and lack of a network for women entrepreneurs in particular was signalled as stifling growth.
Can you comment on the women's entrepreneurship strategy to showcase how we might be tackling this issue to create wealth in the economy from a relatively untapped source, which is women entrepreneurs?
