Some of my colleagues and I alluded earlier to the minister's mandate letter, which has been made public, and the critical role that the regional development agencies play—as the minister has mentioned as well—in supporting the agenda and portfolio of Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada. We work very closely with one another in supporting the government's agenda and the mandate of the minister.
Obviously, as I alluded earlier, our role at the agency and our programs are aligned toward supporting firms at various stages of their growth, to support firms' ability to scale up, grow, and innovate. That is consistent with the priorities identified in the minister's mandate letter.
