Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I want to thank our witnesses for being here today on what I think is a very important study for the future of social finance in Canada.

Mrs. Odendahl, in your discussion you were able to talk briefly about the role that the federal government can have in promoting social finance across the country. You were able to talk about the supply of capital being the number one aspect of that role of government. You were cut off before you got the chance to talk about the other two steps.

I'm wondering if you would just fill us in on your position. What are the other two main roles government can put in place to try to support social finance implementation?
