You'll get another chance.

Thanks a million for being here. I want to touch on a point, Matthew, that you raised. It has to do with the Canadian Free Trade Agreement, the small business set-aside of $150,000 in the U.S., and how we are limited here in Canada. We weren't able to do that. I recall that the late Dr. Adam Chowaniec was working on a project, and he kept citing the U.S. example and how Canada was limited in that regard.

Is there an amount we are limited to? How is NAFTA impacting that particular set-aside? Does NAFTA say you can't put $150,000 in Canada? Is there an amount that's limited to Canada?
