Thank you, Mr. Chair. It's good to see that they don't need the government's support if they're doing it on their own.

I have a question about SEED funding. In the business plan, there's a very scant support for this program. I know it's a good program. I know from anecdotal experience that it's a good program, but in the business plan it basically says we've handed out this much money in SEED funding, this many people have applied for SEED funding, but that's not really support for why we should approve SEED funding.

Does the department have any sort of substantial information that it can present to the committee about how many jobs have been created through this or how many businesses have been created or anything like that, any sort of substantial information? Thank you, Mr. Chair.
