Thank you, Minister. Those are certainly some very concrete actions.
You mentioned having the timeline to make sure that the SR and ED credits can come in as quickly as possible. Of course, when you have employees to pay, sometimes an extra week can really make a difference, I'm sure.
I'll bring the conversation over to trade diversification, an essential thing for protecting Canadian jobs, particularly when we're looking at rising protectionism around the world. This budget includes new export financing tools, trade corridor investments and market expansion supports to help Canadian businesses access the Indo-Pacific and European markets and other emerging markets.
Could you tell us how this legislation is going to help Canadian exporters take advantage of new markets and strengthen Canada's trade diversification strategy?
