Thank you, Mr. Chair
With 30 years' experience as a bank manager and being engaged with small businesses that have an idea and want to create jobs, I want to thank you for coming forward to let us know what this program is all about. I want to make sure that we don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.
Thank you very much for having the fortitude to withstand this type of interviewing, and thank you for at least contributing to the positive side of what this corporation can do.
Now, we have the process of incubators, accelerators, angel investors and venture capital, but I understand that the organizations you represent are on the incubator side, where there's high risk and low tolerance for risk for anyone other than people who have equity positions. Can you tell me what the industry does?
I'm getting a little frustrated. All we're talking about is money coming out of a corporate spigot. That's not what this is about. This is about investing in ideas. It's about investing in jobs. It's about investing in our international profile and advancing the industry.
Is there anyone who can tell me...? From your experience, how many jobs have you created, Mr. Khan?
