We recently met with a delegation in relation to peer-to-peer or crowd financing. Is this an area of interest to the agency? The committee also does a great deal of work around social enterprise. Although social enterprise does not create jobs, it can create profits and there is also a social agenda to it. The committee is of the view that social enterprise should be treated the same as other enterprise. Can the agency work with these enterprises, which, as I said, can create profits? Is it the view of the agency that once an enterprise can make a return the agency can work with it?
