Mr. Liam McLoughlin:
We have a branch footprint of 250 across the country, which serves all of our customers including small business. As mentioned earlier, we receive more than 1,000 applications per week, 85% of which are approved. Of those 1,000 applications per week 75% are from what we would consider to be small business.
