I would add I think big companies can sort of do it on their own. The one area where government can be helpful there is having competitive export financing programs in place because a lot of the people we're competing with are using those instruments quite aggressively.
We have 385,000 businesses in B.C. and 98% of them are small. The vast majority of them are never going to get involved in exporting outside of North America or even outside of Canada. The task for government, I think, is to try and work with the relatively small proportion of all businesses that are not currently involved in international commerce but have the capacity to do so—in other words the high-potential businesses—and they would certainly include a lot of our technology companies that are producing tradeable goods and services from day one.
That's where I would put the effort, not with business holistically. I think you need more of a rifle shot approach frankly where you're identifying the high-potential sectors, working with accelerators, working with well-organized industry associations that represent particular subgroups of companies that have the potential to do trade.
That's where I would put government's limited resources in terms of providing information, assisting companies, and taking advantage of markets overseas.
