I understand the importance of having that type of facility, but I don't think it falls within the mandate of our department to work with that. I know our colleagues at Industry Canada have done quite a bit of work in providing high-speed Internet across the country. I don't know what the situation is in Rimouski, unfortunately. Certainly I take your point. It's fundamental in this globalized world to have the types of communication tools that will make a company more competitive.
One of the new programs that's being offered by BDC, the Business Development Bank of Canada, is a market expansion loan. A market expansion loan is offered at very favourable rates and it will help a company expand their business domestically and, ideally, internationally. I would say the restrictions on that loan are quite flexible. I would encourage your constituents to go to the local BDC office and discuss the market expansion loan with them, because that will help them build the capacity they need to do more work domestically and internationally. That's a form of instrument that will be quite supportive to them.
