Thank you for your question, Ms. Lapointe. I speak some French, but to save time, I'll switch to English.
When it comes to our negotiations for international trade, SMEs are being represented in that portfolio. You'll recognize that when we are talking about our small and medium-sized enterprises, it is not just the minister or one team that is responding. Every single minister recognizes this.
When the agriculture minister stands up and is talking about farmers, he knows that those are small business owners. When we have the environment minister stand up and talk about the importance of having a price on pollution, she knows that we're talking directly about small business owners. When we're talking about the importance of clean tech and being more innovative and export oriented, we know who is going to create those opportunities. It's going to be small business owners. They are at the forefront.
When it comes to the negotiations, whether that's with the United States or it's CETA and so forth, we will always have a voice. That's partly why the Prime Minister recognized the importance of having this women's entrepreneurship council. We want to also encourage under-represented groups to be part of those conversations.
