Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank the witnesses for appearing before our committee and helping us with this study. Let me also congratulate all of you for all the success everyone has achieved so far, and for your hard work. You're definitely very deserving.
I'm going to start with Mr. Hall, but I would like all of you to answer this question. Can you tell us if you had any dealings with any of the government agencies, such as the trade commissioner service, EDC, or BDC? Share your experience with us in terms of the help you might have received and the interaction you had. Do you have any suggestions on how it could be improved?
We'll get started with Mr. Hall, please.
