I think the information that we wanted to collect has been largely along the lines of specific wage and price information. Actually, getting back to some of the information that we've been very happy with in the past, and that we recommended other members go see, is information pulled by Industry Canada from StatsCan on small-business benchmarking. It has very specific industry level financial indicators that help businesses understand what are typical financial ratios and relationships within their particular sector. Also, they're able to put some of their own financials in there to see if they are running above or below the general performance of businesses within their particular sector. So we strongly support those kinds of roles and so on.
Part of our challenge, and yours as well, is that we're dealing with such a wide variety of businesses, some of which are very forward-looking and probably have more information than we even know that they have, and they're using it very well, and others that really have no idea that this information is out there, and perhaps could help them in that respect. We've got such a wide variance that we want to support and so on. We're just trying to find a good average level of information that would help them.
In general, I think to the degree that we can find, again, the geographic detail....
Maybe one example that we've noted is that if you're looking for business register information, and that is what types of businesses are around in specific geographic regions, you can purchase that information from StatsCan for the national level. If you want the provincial level then it costs a little more. If you want the detailed municipal level, it costs a lot. But when you're buying the municipal level, you have to buy all of it for the entire country. Small firms are only looking for their particular region, whether it's Arnprior or Renfrew or perhaps some of those other areas. To a large degree, you cannot purchase the information or get the information for one specific area. You may have to get the entire country at that specific point. So to the degree that you can get that information....
Thank you.
