As Kendal mentioned—and I might just ask her to add to this—so much of the Canadian economy is small businesses. Didn't we learn in the pandemic the way they can pivot so quickly, but also that they're very vulnerable in times of economic disruption?
We absolutely have our eyes on ways to make sure we can access the capabilities of the small businesses. ISED has some programs specifically designed to support them. They are not about defence, so our strategy could consider how to marry up programs that we already know work with small businesses and open a defence stream.
Kendal, did you want to add to that?
