Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you too, lady and gentlemen, for being here and sharing your stories.
The committee has been hearing from a variety of small and medium-sized enterprises from coast to coast to coast. It's very interesting to hear the stories. I'm a former small business owner myself, an operator. I can see sometimes, especially the start-ups.... Mr. Hall, you might have thought there was more month than money sometimes.
There's that saying that first your three or four sources of funding are your family, friends, and fools. Once you get after that, you start to second-guess yourself. But I applaud each one of you for your entrepreneurial innovative drive.
Mr. Hall, I was reading online the story about how you acquired this company. It's an idea that you've taken now to the mining industry. Did you attend the PDAC conference in Toronto earlier this year, or any trade shows?
