I think it's important. I wonder how much, generally speaking, of the non-participation of SMEs and diverse SMEs has to do with the high cost of contracting. We've heard that from many of our witnesses. By high costs, we mean not just money, of course, but resources. A lot of SMEs, obviously, have limited human resources and limited capital, and they're just not able to participate competitively in the process, and it becomes an almost self-fulfilling circle here. They figure they'll never get the bid, so they don't want to waste their time. They go about their business, quite happily, and a lot of them quite successfully deal with just the private sector.
How can we overcome that obstacle? Is it a question of education? Could that be a component of overcoming it, or is there more to it?
