Thank you, Madam Chair.
Witnesses, thank you for your opening statements and for sharing your views today.
At the last meeting, witnesses told us that one of the factors that makes it harder for women entrepreneurs to obtain financing is the fact that they aren't as brash, so they are less comfortable when it comes to pitching.
Do you share that opinion? I find it quite surprising, because we've seen so many women whose ability to be bold and assertive far supersedes that of men.
If you agree with the witnesses, what measures do you think could be introduced to help women entrepreneurs overcome what could be considered a lack of confidence?
