In simple terms, EDC is really associated with facilitating foreign transactions, be they export or be they investment abroad. We're doing that with a variety of products, insurance products and financing products. In that way we're helping Canadian companies to build up, but we're not really involved, except to a very limited extent, in the formation of new companies here in Canada. I'll let BDC speak to that.
EDC has a small equity program, which is focused both on foreign markets and trying to help, with equity, leverage companies into those markets, and potentially at the later stages in helping companies that are going into the export market to be able to be active participants or expand their reach in those markets.
Primarily we are a financier and insurer, facilitating trade transactions associated with companies.
