Thanks, Chair.

I want to start with Lynne.

You have spoken about the gap in existing federal supports as it relates to early stage start-ups and the necessary research and development that needs to happen for those companies to succeed. There was a lot of money in the budget for a SIF renewal, and specifically a net zero accelerator, and there seems to be a continued and increased focus on clean tech going forward and on growing clean tech in Canada.

Walk me through how those proposed supports continue to miss early stage start-ups.
