Thank you for that.

For full transparency, I didn't know what BBI was until I had a coffee, about three weeks ago, with Jocelyn Eatmon-Stevens. Jocelyn is a good friend of mine. Jocelyn is the BBI coordinator for New Brunswick. She was telling me that there are 16 organizations or entrepreneurs that BBI is now supporting in New Brunswick. I think the work you are doing is absolutely fantastic. The work that she does in New Brunswick is fantastic.

I want to drill down a bit.

How does the SBCCI function differently now that the funding flows through intermediary organizations, rather than directly from ESDC? What's the difference?
