Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you for this opportunity.
Thank you to the witnesses here today.
This is my first meeting. I'm new to the committee, so forgive me if some of my questions have been answered previously.
As a former minister of industry, I'm really interested in the whole business around small and medium enterprises, access to capital, and what we do to make it possible for them to access capital and procure contracts. No matter where you are--in a province, a territory, or the country--any small or medium-sized enterprise, or large enterprise for that matter, will look to governments as a wonderful opportunity for sourcing contracts. Governments tend to be around all the time, so there's no chance of that contract not proceeding.
I want to pick up on where my colleague Mr. Martin finished off in set-asides for small and medium enterprises.
Ms. saint pierre, is it your position that there should be set-asides for small and medium enterprises?
