Thank you for your presentation.

First, addressing the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, we have heard from several witnesses complaints about late payments by the Government of Canada. I understand how that would affect a small business and a medium business more than it would a large conglomerate. But how prevalent is it? Is it an ongoing problem, or is it just something people bring up as one of the reasons not to deal with the federal government?
