Thank you very much to the witnesses for coming.
I am going to start off, Ms. Sharpe, with you. When I'm going through your deck, I'm looking at a robust export picture that will be enhanced. The agreement will provide new access to venture capital, equity dollars, and established markets.
The interesting part about your deck is that 92% of the clean-tech companies that are part of Sustainable Development Technology Canada are small and medium-sized enterprises. I think that rings well. We all know that what drives the economy in Canada is our small and medium-sized business enterprises.
What I'm wondering is that when you talked about the revenues of $9 billion in Canada, and as we watch the total market, which would grow from $1 trillion to $5 trillion to $10 trillion by 2020, this is a huge increase. Why are we going to be successful? Why do the small and medium-sized companies see this trade as such a good thing for them? Is it because we're competitive? Is it because we have quality? Is it because Canadians are known and seen to be reliable entrepreneurs and business people, or is it some other reason?
