Thank you, Madam Chair.
Good morning. Thank you to all our witnesses for their presentations.
My first question is for Ms. Dickinson.
It will sound strange, but I think it's worth thinking about. You mentioned the famous tariffs that are likely to be implemented. We know the protectionist leanings of American administrations in general, including those of Mr. Trump.
You called for reinvestment in the domestic market. You said we needed to get away from our dependence on the American market alone, on the exports we send there and on partnerships with the U.S.
We know that women entrepreneurs have more difficulty exporting their products, for various reasons, as has been raised in this study. Of course, we wouldn't welcome a difficulty or a more difficult situation, but if these women entrepreneurs are already more focused on the domestic market, can't this difficulty ultimately become an opportunity, insofar as sooner or later everyone will have to turn more to this market? In this case, women would already be there.
Could this give them a new advantage, a kind of lead over the others, finally?
