Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Smith, thanks very much for being here today.
As you know, the current government and minister have been promising for years to develop a digital strategy, and it's clearly a promise that remains unkept. For instance, as you mentioned, there are numerous programs out there but no cohesive strategy about how they should work so that small and medium enterprises could know where to find stuff. You referred to that.
Michael Geist recently said, “If part of your economic strategy doesn’t include a digital economy strategy, then I’d say you don’t have an economic strategy”. I'd like to hear your views on the lost opportunities as a result of the lack of a digital strategy.
