Thank you, Mr. Chair. I would like to thank the witnesses for being here with us today.
I know that you may have travelled a long distance and I would like to echo what Ms. Freeland said. I visit small businesses and I have seen how you support us, because your businesses are innovative and have created jobs in our regions. We thank you for that.
I will continue with Mr. St-Amour. Your business is near my riding, in the Lower Laurentians. I communicate regularly with representatives of small and medium-sized businesses. We are not far from urban centres such as Montreal, St-Jérôme and so forth. You mentioned some of the challenges that business people in rural regions face. You mentioned that there are no language courses, for example.
Are there other challenges that you must deal with as a business person in a mostly rural region?
