Thank you, sir. It's heartening to hear that this is a focus and a priority within PSPC.

You mentioned the need to grow the pool of entrepreneurs across these under-represented groups. Our federal government has a $6-billion women entrepreneurship strategy and we have a $250-million Black entrepreneurship fund. Is PSPC actively working with some of the ministries that have developed these programs and are rolling them out to see how PSPC can leverage and be partners on these programs?
