Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thanks to the witnesses. It seems that all of you are passionate, successful businesses with the assistance of TCS—or that's what I hear.
I heard Mr. Chiasson talk about how things can always get better. Mr. Shah also made a comment about how small- and medium-size businesses should be assisted as well.
We all understand, I guess, that 98% of the businesses, with all of that employment, are small or medium size businesses. We believe that the success of businesses lies in opening more markets. That's why, I believe, our Minister of International Trade has always said that trade is a kitchen table issue. We are working very hard to open new markets for other businesses as well.
You can appreciate that this government, in the last five years, has signed quite a few trade agreements—I believe nine—with other countries, whereas we see that some of our colleagues in some parties oppose free trade.
Would going into new or emerging economies such as China, India, Brazil, etc., and having access to all of these markets help your companies and other businesses to expand and to hire more workers, or would it hinder them?
