Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Welcome, Minister.
As part of the 1,200 conversations that you had with the small businesses, I want to thank you for coming to Surrey and having a conversation with the Surrey Board of Trade and its members. That was very helpful.
Ninety-eight per cent of the businesses in Surrey are small or medium-sized businesses. They have difficulty accessing those programs that you are talking about. They're complaining that they don't have the time and the resources to do the research you're mentioning.
Is there a proactive approach that your department is taking to help educate those businesses about having trade overseas?
