Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you very much, Minister Goodyear and officials, for being here this afternoon.

Minister Goodyear, thank you for your presentation today, for sharing this great news story concerning the programs and the impact of FedDev, and for your leadership of this important, great, new agency.

Minister, in your opening comments you said that 240,000 jobs have been created in southern Ontario. Since 2009, 460,000 jobs have been created across the country, so more than half have been created in southern Ontario, I think partly due to the valuable work that FedDev is doing.

Minister, could you start by listing some of the important programs that have been established under FedDev?
