Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Minister, for being with us today and for the work you’re doing for small businesses throughout the entire country.

We heard from witnesses and economic development agency representatives throughout the country. I come from Northern Ontario, where the Federal Economic Development Agency for Northern Ontario, or FedNor, operates. FedNor makes it a priority to support women in entrepreneurship.

How does your department work with economic development agencies to help more women become entrepreneurs, especially in rural areas?
