This is a conversation we've been having. What's refreshing about this government is that we are taking the whole-of-government approach. When it comes to the Minister of Finance and the Department of Finance, we are communicating with them and engaging with them on a regular basis. When the 22 departments that are directly related, I would say, to SMEs come together on a regular basis, and we're talking about a weekly meeting, they are able to raise these issues.
We consult with many groups. I've met with the CFIB. I've met with chambers of commerce. I've met with these groups to ensure that their stakeholder voices are being represented. We also continue to engage with them.
As you yourself know, instead of calling you a critic I call you an ambassador, because at the end of the day, we want the same outcomes and we want to see that success. When it comes to CETA, the opportunities that SMEs will see in export markets with this deal will be immeasurable, I would say. We know that CETA will open up markets unlike any other.
I will tell you that when we know that only 12% of SMEs are considering exporting right now, we need to encourage more SMEs, if they want to, to consider export markets.
