Thank you very much. It's great to be able to join the committee here today.
I'm going to start with the Council of Canadian Innovators. I've seen you guys at committee a few times and from listening to you quite a bit I would say there has been a common theme that has emerged, which is that there is an issue with getting our start-ups to scale up. We've seen in provinces like Alberta, for example, that government reduction of red tape has encouraged even more start-ups to pop up and to be looking to grow.
How can the federal government be more like Alberta and work with these companies in the private sector to be able to get them to not just to start but to scale up?
