Thank you, Mr. Chairman. One other area I would like to explore is the area of small business development, specifically to training and support for the various skills that are involved in running a small business.
Looking at the department's plans, something I do not see in there is anything directed to this kind of support for the small business community. There may be something in Education, Culture and Employment that covers this, but what I have in mind, Mr. Chairman, is not something that would be a business administration matter or things of this nature that might be offered through our college system. It would be small-scale, easily delivered programs on a community scale that can assist small businesses in areas such as cash-flow management, personnel and recruiting, marketing, bookkeeping...the nuts and bolts, Mr. Chairman, of running a small business.
What kind of delivery mechanism do we have in the North, with the department or otherwise, that can help small businesses through these day to day chores? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
