The challenge is that, with all due respect to widget makers, they have a lovely product and they want to move it, to do something with it. The first step is something that's going to cost them a lot of money, and so they spend a lot of money on that and then they say, “Well, I need a business plan.” Then they spend a lot of money to get someone else to make a business plan because they don't have the expertise to do that, and all of a sudden they choke on how much their income is, and they just put the widget on the shelf. I mean, being local, I think there are some wonderful widgets sitting on shelves in Sault Ste. Marie that never got to market because no one helped them get them there.
