Like you, I recognize the value of small businesses to our economy. When you look at the number of people employed throughout the country, a significant number of those are employed through small and medium-sized enterprises.
We're working very hard to modernize procurement. We're working very hard to make sure that everyone has access to government procurement. We are recognizing that we buy everything from pencils to ships to jets, and so there are components of procurement that the small and medium-sized enterprises can avail themselves of, and there's no reason why, on the larger files, that those who are able to take advantage of those, and are in a position to deliver on those, can't engage small and medium-sized enterprises via subcontracts. We're working very hard to make sure that everybody has an opportunity to take advantage of government procurement, especially small and medium-sized enterprises, which often tend to be located in rural areas of our country, as well as in the smaller urban areas.
