The bulk of the funding that is available—say, through EDC—is still going to very few large companies in Canada that are exporting. Though the number of small businesses supported by EDC is quite high, the amount actually lent to them is quite small.
During the last four years, one thing I have noticed is that the industry lobby groups, especially those who are focused only on exports to North America but not beyond, seem to have been very vocal. They take up all of the bandwidth. That leaves out a lot of small businesses who are actually growing and whom we should support in exporting to different parts of the world. All of the agreements that we need we have onboard already. What are you doing to help these small Canadian companies export to different parts of the world?
