Thank you.
I enjoyed hearing you talk about the excitement that's been created by the government's industrial defence strategy. That's very good to hear. It's government in action.
I also very much appreciated and enjoyed both presentations. You spoke about Canada's entrepreneurial spirit being alive and well. That's really wonderful.
I also thought that it was very enjoyable to see the breadth of products that could potentially be available throughout Canada under the defence industrial strategy. We think of ammunition and certain elements, but you're obviously doing different products that we may not think of or that aren't as common in the field of defence.
Thanks to both of you for your presentations.
I have the same question for both of you. It's building a bit on the question of my colleague, Madam Sudds. This is an opportunity to move forward on a small business procurement program, but your viewpoint is very important. It's in partnership with industry that we're moving forward and very much on your thoughts. We've touched on your thoughts, but could you summarize what you would like to see in the upcoming small business procurement program to make it easier for SMEs to do business with the federal government?
The question is for both of you, Mr. Yurichuk and Mr. Straisfeld. Whoever would like to go first, could you summarize in bullet form—one, two, three, four, five, six—what would be the essential key points?
