Thank you.
Ms. Lloyd, I'm a business owner. My company has 30 employees, and we provide printing, graphic design and communications services. We endeavour to reduce our environmental footprint and we were actually recognized by RECYC-QUÉBEC in 2002 or 2003—I can't remember which year exactly—for being the first company to recycle 95% of its inputs. We were ahead of the curve back then.
All small and medium-sized businesses combined could obviously do a lot for the environment. What upfront barriers do they run into when trying to reduce their environmental footprint? Are the barriers purely economic or financial?
