Thank you for the question, because it's very near and dear to my heart. I think it's really at the core of how we see ourselves.
As it happens, SMEs employ nearly two-thirds of Canadians. At the same time, they are up to the job when it comes to exports, and they have the potential to do more. Overall, these companies continue to increase exports without the obvious volatility of the oil sector and elsewhere.
It's not one or the other; it's both. In Brussels, where I am right now, my conversations with people from the European Commission are about a harmonized vision and priority given to SMEs as a fabric of resilience in the economy.
