There are 40,000 businesses in New Brunswick. With the aging demographic, I would suspect that a pretty big share of those are close to transitioning. Accounting firms tell me that here in Moncton they have been dealing with that. It has multiplied in their business in terms of those who are trying to figure out how to sell their business and capitalize on the equity in their business. I can't give you a number, but it's definitely in the hundreds every year, and definitely in the thousands over a five- and 10-year period.
