Thank you, Chair.
I want to thank the witnesses for appearing today.
We have heard some testimony so far that talked about the importance of specific funding aimed at Black entrepreneurship, because there are so many difficulties with applying to the general fund. We heard about the importance of education.
My first question will be for Mr. Haji.
I know it's important to have this kind of funding for Black entrepreneurs. In my riding, we had a recipient who was a pharmacist from Nigeria who ended up starting a medical facility, brought in three doctors and has a pharmacy that supports our palliative care system in Sarnia. Amazing things can happen.
You were a recipient, and now you're an intermediary. Why is it important to have that intermediary organization?
