My focus would be simply that I think we have incredible market access. As I alluded to, I spent 15 years living in Asia, running Canadian businesses there and then the Ivey Business School. When I was coming back into this role, the board of trade was doing a study on our SMEs and trade. I can tell you from living in Asia that the challenge is not market access. The challenge is that our companies need more support in terms of activating trade.
I think Australia is an excellent example. They didn't have the U.S. next door. Their next door is Asia, and that's why they had no choice but to focus. Some of the smaller European counties are far more active in trade than we are, because they just simply didn't have big enough markets. They had to go global, and they have done it with a concerted strategy.
The work we've done through Leigh's organization, the trade accelerator program, is an effort that's proven to be very successful to bring EDC, BDC, the trade commissioner service and the private sector to the table to help small and medium-sized enterprises get practical tools for exporting.
While I fully acknowledge that there's more we can be doing within Canada to help companies scale and grow—for instance, the dreaded interprovincial trade barriers, which mean our small companies have to go global to scale instead of scaling in Canada—the reality is that the work the World Trade Centre is doing is proving to be effective. It's really helping businesses understand what it's going to take to trade, and then connecting them to the right growth markets for them, rather than having them simply pivoting south and thinking that the U.S. is where they should grow.
Leigh, I don't know if you have anything you want to add to that.
