In the SME base, the vast majority of what EDC would do would either be guarantees to Canadian banks to allow them to lend more to Canadian companies, or credit insurance—when you have a Canadian company looking to either expand with an existing buyer or take on new risk with a new buyer, providing insurance support for that. In the case of the lending, it would be in the SME base almost exclusively in partnership with the private sector, and on the credit insurance side providing risk mitigation for them.
