Thank you, Mr. Chair.
To the witnesses, if you're new here, seven minutes goes past very, very quickly.
I'll start with you, Mr. Whittaker. Let's say I have a company that I've put together with a few of my friends. If I come to you and say that I need some help, what are the practical things you can do? What are the successes you've found? Maybe more importantly, what are the failures where you haven't been able to help smart guys with a better mousetrap to move forward to the next level and maybe sell their product or get a Suncor or something interested?
Briefly, what works, what doesn't, and how would you help me and my colleagues around here when we start our next company?
