Thank you, Mr. Chair.
To our witnesses, thank you for being here. I love hearing from chambers, and I am certainly a big fan of Startup Canada and Futurpreneur. Thank you for the work you do.
I'm just going to ask one question, and I'll let both of you answer it. In terms of what you offer, in terms of services—Karen, you mentioned it before—you offer money, mentoring and so on. I don't know if it was $5,000 or up to $50,000. It's not that you offered it. It's what you had access to through various programs, either BDC or whatever it was.
Second, in terms of mentoring, we've had the Greater Vancouver Board of Trade and the Toronto Region Board of Trade in here talking about the trade accelerator program, TAP, which is good.
You talked about mentoring. Richard, you guys also do some mentoring as well. Talk to me about the things that you do to help connect the dots for entrepreneurs. You had a little bit of time in your opening remarks. Maybe just talk a bit more about how you facilitate those relationships that are key for helping your start-ups. You have a couple of different things going on. You're trying to get the businesses to actually be successful and stand on their own two feet. Export is not always the first thing you think about, but obviously it is part of the opportunity for small businesses, as they move forward.
Karen, why don't you go first, and then Richard.
Richard, say hi to Victoria for me. We're sad she's not here today, but tell her Dean Allison said hi.
