Government's narrative on progress

Part of the Export Diversification Strategy, as proposed under the 2018 Fall Economic Statement, includes $10 million over 3 years (starting in 2019-20) to increase small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs') awareness of export supports available to them and to increase the capacity of export-oriented SMEs to enter new markets abroad through export training.
