Mr. Speaker, one of the things the banks have done as this government has done is they have realized the economic importance of women entrepreneurs. Many of the chartered banks are now putting in place special programs to assist women entrepreneurs. They have departments geared to dealing with the special concerns of women entrepreneurs. A number of chartered banks have talked with the women entrepreneurs of Canada. They are working together to find out which programs are best suited to their needs.
I believe that all parties of the partnership, the government, the private sector and the not for profit sector have to work together to find the solutions for all women entrepreneurs.
