Thank you.
I have a question, but first I want to remind you that last December the Conservatives filibustered by forcing a voting marathon. During the votes, they made it clear that they wanted to cut funding for Canada Economic Development, or CED, and even for the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency, or ACOA.
Anyway, Mr. Perron, I'd like you to talk about the regional economic growth through innovation program. How does it help businesses set themselves up for export and growth?
