At the last meeting of the industry committee here, we had Mr. Scott Smith, the director of intellectual property and innovation policy from the Canadian Chamber of Commerce. He spoke about how there's “somewhere in the neighbourhood of 2.2 million” small or medium-sized enterprises in Canada. Giving us a pretty shocking number, he said, “Approximately 70% of those companies don't currently have a website.”
That's a staggering number given today's technology and its availability. They don't seem to be taking advantage of it, and that's not only the small companies. There are large companies as well that have not adopted it. It's fine to have connectivity, but if it's not getting used, and certainly business doesn't seem to be leveraging that....
Mr. Beaudoin, I think you touched on it very briefly. What additional measures are you taking to actually increase that penetration? In terms of the current program, while it seems to have helped 600 businesses start to develop an online presence, that's a drop in the bucket out of 2.2 million.
