Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to our guests here this afternoon.
We know this government is focused on the economy, on creating jobs, paying down the debt, balancing the budget, and working with our small businesses, which are the economic engine that drives our economy.
I sit on the trade committee as well, and earlier today we met with the trade commission services that work with the Business Development Bank of Canada, BDC. Do you operate in an integrated way with any of the other federal departments within some of the smaller communities across Canada? Or have you ever thought of working in partnership in that way?
