I have had the opportunity, Mr. Speaker, on several occasions to meet with representatives of the Federal Business Development Bank. They are providing a service in conjunction and co-operation with major financial institutions. It is a needed service. When they provide auxiliary support, yes that service will be paid by the user so it is not a burden on the FBDB.
The FBDB provides a service that is a higher risk for various users. Its record speaks for itself as far as recovery and not being a burden on taxpayers.
