Many people see that the Canadian marketplace is small and that therefore, to be successful, even as a small firm growing you need to look very early at what an export market opportunity would be, because you can leverage what you are doing. Canada has to sell to a broader marketplace. To achieve this goal is, I believe, what the Department of Foreign Affairs is doing in trying to encourage firms to think globally as they start up.
That being said, if people are looking at what the business case would be for an investment by BDC or by some other means, such as IRAP and so on, they're going to be looking at the market for the result. Are they going to be able to sell it? Are they going to be successful? I think they would be taking into account the export side of life. On the other hand, you just don't want to push them out too early before they've managed to stand on their feet.
