Mr. Speaker, would the minister talk a bit more about what the federal government, in its partnerships with provincial governments, can do to help start-up companies that are ready to scale. It seems to me that access to a national market will be helpful to start-up companies as they look for expanded markets and more customers to grow.
What specific things can the federal and provincial governments do together to help solve this scalability gap that seems to be plaguing our start-up companies?
