Thank you, Madam Chair.
I'd like to thank the witnesses for being here today and taking part in this important study to see how we can further help women engage in international trade.
We've talked a lot about challenges. We know that Canadian women entrepreneurs are facing a number of challenges in terms of not only foreign markets, but also limited access to financing. Yes, there are assistance programs, but more needs to be done. I would like to explore possible solutions with you.
Most of you have talked about what we do well and what works. That said, what could we do better? What more could we do to help women entrepreneurs be more successful in international trade?
Ms. Vega, I think you might have a suggestion for us related to venture capital.
