Mr. Roy, thank you for your question. Before giving Industry Canada officials an opportunity to respond, I think it is important to clarify that a small enterprise has fewer than 100 employees and that a medium enterprise has fewer than 500. The statistics we provided you include both. We could give you statistics on firms with fewer than 100 employees, in order to make the distinction between the two. However, because we have a group called « small and medium enterprises », that is the way we present the numbers. I believe the same applies to the Department of Industry.
