Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, actually the CEO of BDIC is in the building but I'm not going to try and swap out right at this moment. So if there is a chance later, I'm happy to bring her here and have her address that because the BDIC is -- although she is the CEO, it's managed by a board, and the board has undergone quite a bit of strategic planning in the last year, you know, composed of folks from all regions and composed of folks with different areas of expertise, you know, done a lot of work just in terms of having a matrix of how we fill that board and then once that board was there, giving them the time to do that planning. I mean, they're -- they're the ones also hearing the challenges in the private sector around getting equity and having equity available. So I know they're looking at what that -- you know, how that's going to happen, how they are going to be able to evolve to be, you know, an organization that can be a real growth organization for community development. And also seeing where they fit in to, you know, the spectrum of funds that are available, where you may have things like seed and ITI, and you might have your community future's organizations that do the small scale and then you get to the BDIC that has the next step up. So that work is also happening. That's been -- there's been a workshop done just not that long ago.
And, you know, again, that -- and that workshop will hopefully give people the sense of, you know, where -- yeah, where they fall on those options. But, you know, again, other than that -- yeah, the strategic plan for BDIC is one that I'll pause and if -- again, I suggest I hold off until I get Joyce in here and have her speak to it. Thank you, Madam Chair.
