International Trade committee  From what I understand, those are student exchanges, so they—

International Trade committee  What I tried to stress in my presentation at the very beginning was that we work very locally. We are a Windsor organization, but our main goals are to promote, encourage, and support businesses that are in Windsor run by people of Polish heritage, and as well to support the youth who are coming out of Windsor and are staying in Windsor, to support them in any way we can, if they want to go into business.

International Trade committee  Thank you for the question. We have a very strong young Polish community in Windsor. We have a dance group. We have the Polish Canadian Students' Association of Windsor. We have a couple of other organizations that we really like to promote. As an association, we sponsor events—everybody is always looking for money.

International Trade committee  I'm not really sure I have the answer to that question. I'm sorry.

International Trade committee  It's a mouthful, I know.

International Trade committee  Is it business organizations, professional business associations, that you're asking about?

International Trade committee  I believe we may be one of the only organizations like this in Canada, especially that has been in existence for this long.

International Trade committee  We have, especially through our Polish business dinners. We always invite the representatives of the Polish American Congress and we work that way together, as well as through attending their events, of course.

International Trade committee  Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Good afternoon. The Polish Canadian Business and Professional Association of Windsor was incorporated in 1997 as a non-profit corporation in Ontario. We support the needs of business leaders, established professionals, community organizers, and young people of Polish heritage in Windsor.
