Thank you, Chair.
Interestingly enough, when we're talking about Alberta, 98% of the federal COVID funding went to Albertans, so I think there are a lot of businesses and individuals in Alberta who are certainly appreciative of and thankful for what has taken place in the last two years related to COVID-19.
My question is for the Council of Canadian Innovators. I just want to ask Ms. O'Born about venture capital. It has become a very dominant force in the financing of innovative companies, especially in the U.S.A., and I'm wondering if she could elaborate a little bit on why there is such low venture capital investment in Canada?
