Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to my colleagues.
I am interested in following up with BDC.
With regard to your clients that make it through the development stage and then work toward exporting—which is good, we were mostly built on exporting—do we have any statistics in terms of what happens to them as they grow larger? We know what happens to the failures. They just fail, or maybe they turn into something else if they were experienced.
Do they remain Canadian? Are they bought out? Are they sold out, and to whom? What's the net benefit for Canada and for Canadians for fronting the risk? I understand there's a give and take in this. I'm interested in that because I do get asked that from time to time.
