I'm always up for taking extra time.

I'm actually going to follow a slightly different vein. But I'll follow on what Mr. Lemieux was saying and on your comments, Mr. Barrett.

When you said that your success rate in reaching FedDev and other funds was less than 1%, you mentioned the lack of understanding. You also mentioned, going to the credit unions and banks, a lack of understanding.

Now, that to me would demonstrate that there seems to be a lack of understanding both in the private sector and even in the public sector. Is that the case?
