Thank you, Mr. van Wachem, and apologies from all of us for the delay in getting you on.
I'm quite struck by your commentary—what you said in your presentation and in your written submission. You cited the announcement by then Minister Fortier to support SMEs, but you said that since then there hasn't been much involvement. I'm noting in particular the comment that PWGSC held a procurement conference in Ottawa recently. You were in attendance but nobody from the OSME was there.
Clearly, there seems to be a disconnect between what you're saying and what we're hearing from the office, with respect to support for the SMEs. Can you give us some specific, hard-core recommendations, in point form, on what the OSME should be doing?
