The concern I have is that they can't get a date. The problem is that they're trying to run their businesses and they can't find out from you, as the minister, from the Minister of Small Business or from anybody, when that will happen. Please, I'm hoping that this date will happen in due course.
Going back to some of the loans that the EDC guarantees, my colleague asked you several times for some kind of information on how those loans are going. Your testimony suggests that businesses are flocking to these loans. We just had a panel on who suggested that they can't think of anyone who has received a loan or received a guarantee, and that the program is not effective.
Is there any chance you can at least tell us how many applications there are, how many applications have been turned down? Surely, someone knows.
