Thank you so much.
The one thing we have heard about here, which I would encourage you, again, to have a conversation with Minister Morneau—and I think Minister Bains, to be fair—about is the lowering of the CIF threshold. It's currently at $10 million. This does not serve small and medium-sized enterprises at all. We have heard the call here to have that threshold lower so that they can access that program.
The same, I think, is very true of BDC and EDC. The threshold on these programs is largely out of reach for SMEs. There needs to be more strategic funding that is specific for SMEs. Hopefully, we can see those things possibly reflected in the economic update or coming soon for small and medium-sized businesses.
I want to tell you that we've had the opportunity to travel in our committee. We went to a lot of countries in Asia and we visited Thailand. They had a unique program there called Thailand 4.0. They were talking to us about all of the incredible programs that they have to increase the participation of their SMEs in exporting.
I'm wondering if you've done any analysis on what we're doing here in Canada compared with other countries that are quite successful at having SMEs export, and on where we can fill in the gaps in services to our SMEs.
