The company was in New York state. Once we notified EDC and BDC, both of which we have relationships with to start with, they immediately jumped into the queue and were willing to help us out.
We met with them here, and down in New York as well, to get their insight as to what could be done and what should be done, and they did assist us. Because the deal did not conclude...and this is one of the things you run into when you're trying to procure a company. It can fall through, and it did fall through, at the eleventh hour. But that's the name of the game. We'll do it again.
They were able to provide advice. They were able to connect us with the correct people, help us through the due diligence phase, and advise us on the things that we should be looking out for and being aware of, because we had not made an acquisition like that before.
What could they do better? I don't know what they could do better, but I think if they are provided with the necessary training, just like in any other business—I may speak to that a little further in the hour about actual job training—that would be very beneficial, because one of the ways for Canadian companies to expand is through acquisition rather than just getting into a market and selling incrementally.
