Thank you.
Thank you to both of the witnesses here today.
I'm going to start with Mr. Karim and some of the recommendations you made. You had three. Two of them specifically mentioned CIC, the Canada innovation corporation.
You went on later to talk about the differences with the American situation. Here we have an economy that's 10 times the size of ours and, arguably, has a different culture around investment and risk. You then mentioned that there were American government incentives on top of that.
I'm wondering if you could comment in more detail about what the American government provides start-ups or other companies, compared with what Canada is doing right now and how that relates to your recommendations you mentioned around the CIC.
