Where I am, the Okanagan Valley, is a bit far from big cities, which have a major advantage over us.
It's very expensive for a small business to be on Facebook and other online platforms. The government could help us with that.
All of our labels are bilingual, but a lot of companies take shortcuts. Francophones like myself have to incur extra costs.
I do everything I can to make sure that any information about our business appears in English and in French. I'd like to do more in French, but I have to take into account the cost before I commit to anything. Help on that front would go a long way.
The government is helping us right now. We took a trip down to Washington state to explore how we could export our products from the Okanagan Valley to the states of Washington and Oregon, a market of 56 million people.
