Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to both witnesses for appearing.
Mr. Lynch, I'll begin with you. You testified before the Senate committee on February 19, I understand. We've had a chance to review your testimony. You stated there that your company attempted to purchase an American company last year, and you were assisted by EDC and BDC.
Can you briefly tell the committee how those agencies helped your company and whether you have any suggestions through that experience that might help us figure out a better way to assist companies like yours?
