Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thanks to the departmental representatives for being here today.
The objective is to get a clear understanding of the situation. We are doing a study with the aim of finding tools that would enable businesses in official language minority communities to be more prosperous. From what I have understood, they are believed to need more help to expand and prosper in the current market, which is more difficult.
Ms. McMicking, in your presentation, you said that you had done a lot of studies and analyses, but I am looking at things from the point of view of an entrepreneur. What is the process by which these businesses can obtain government assistance? Is there government assistance that specifically targets this category of businesses?
