Mr. Chair, it's a really important point. These are high-risk, difficult projects to start. SDTC begins the pipeline, and then other organizations, financial institutions, support them.
It's critically important that we continue to invest in small and medium-sized companies. They are the future of Canada. We are an innovative society. Those companies become large companies, and those companies export to other parts of the world. I am extraordinarily interested in moving those organizations ahead, and I have been. I think it's an underestimated area of potential development in our country.
