Thank you, Mr. Chair. Through you to Michel and Stephen, thank you for coming.
My background is in manufacturing,. I spent most of my career either owning or managing manufacturing facilities and always drove toward ISO 9001 or its predecessors. Looking at how the setting of a standard impacts our economic growth, our productivity, our efficiencies, are there programs in place or being planned with the SMEs to stimulate the use of international standards like ISO 9001? Many of them don't adopt because of paperwork challenges and costs. Is your department working on any of that?
