I have a great fear that if we do a set-aside of, for the sake of argument, 10 or 15, it will only benefit a certain amount within that set-aside, because it's so difficult to get through the paperwork. We've heard other witnesses, and a lot of the women-led SMEs are one to 10 people, and they don't have the resources. I fear that, if we do a set-aside as a be-all and end-all without fixing our process, we're not going to benefit the greater community and the greater number.
