Thank you, Madam Chair.
Mr. Fowler, thank you for joining us today.
My name is Steeve Lavoie and I'm from the Quebec City area. To provide some background, I worked for 20 years in the banking industry and for a long time in small and medium‑sized enterprises, or SMEs. My questions will focus more on SMEs in Canada.
My colleague spoke earlier about economic and geopolitical upheavals.
In your experience, what major challenges are our SMEs currently facing in international trade?
