Thank you, Madam Chair.
What I would like to do today with the witnesses, and I appreciate your coming out and giving your insights, is receive actionable insights. This meeting is not our meeting. This is your meeting, and we have an analyst here who we depend on to take your insights and, of course, make that as part of the final report. Of course, recommendations will come out of that, and we would expect a response from the minister.
I'm going to throw out an open-ended question to all of you to receive those insights that will enable the analyst to come up with some of those recommendations.
Given the challenges faced by women entrepreneurs in accessing international markets, and this is all about Canadian women and international trade, with that, accessing markets such as through financing and trade networks, what targeted measures or programs do you all believe could help reduce these barriers and enable more equitable participation of women-led businesses in global trade?
I'll start off with you, Ms. Oyelade, if you want to go first.
