Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank the witnesses for being here today. My colleagues and I appreciate their presence and their ability to help us clarify certain points.
A little earlier, my colleague spoke about SMEs. My constituency north of Montreal has many wonderful SMEs, including Raufoss Canada, a subsidiary of the Austrian-based Raufoss Group. A number of those SMEs could benefit from exporting. You and the minister must have met with or consulted a number of large businesses. However, did you consult SMEs before entering into the agreement?
