The anecdotal evidence we have is that there are 1.5 million corporations in this country, and the TSX has slightly over 4,000.

Yes, there are more than 4,000, because there's over-the-counter trading and so on, but essentially there are only 4,000 on the TSX and 1.5 million corporations in total. So the focus is always on the public corporations, but they are a very small part.
