We would certainly like to see the number of firms that we assist rise. It's an interesting statistic. About 2,000 firms do 80% of Canada's exporting. That is the latest statistic we have from StatsCan on this subject. What we want to do in terms of the services we provide—and there is no outer limit in terms of how many companies we could support—is to be in a position where we could see the very small firms that come onto the exporting scene grow, because, through their growth, they will in turn generate more prosperity. They will bring in other firms as well.
