I was particularly interested in what the source was. I think Ms. Buist has provided that. Thank you very much.
I appreciate all of the work that our federal civil servants do, and how you contribute to our local communities and the economy. I think it's vitally important, and I thank you for it.
Ms. Buist, as you responded, I'd like to ask you a few questions on your testimony.
You used the word “invest” a lot, as well as “foundational investments”. My question would be whether these investments mean that, as a department and an agency, you also take an equity position in some of the companies that you invest in.
