It's not always easy to pick up and be here in Ottawa to witness as you have done today. It is my position to thank you for taking that time out of your lives.
It's always important for us as a committee, as we study subject matter, to hear from the grassroots people, the people on the ground. We've been hearing from organizations on the demand side who are looking at the future of social finance for their operations—you fit into that category—and we're hearing from people on the supply side who have said, so far, that there are not enough organizations like yours who are ready to take up the mantle, so to speak.
So we appreciate hearing from you today and hearing your comments. Thank you so much for being here.
We will take a break and then go into committee business.
