"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1904369\" data-originallang=\"en\">I would qualify it somewhat, to say that what you describe as a challenge is also the opportunity. As a start-up, a new entrant, you are looking to introduce competition, and there's a ton of room out there.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1904370\" data-originallang=\"en\">The other point I would like to make is that our company is 12 years old. We've competed with the incumbents for a long time and we've been successful. We are the fastest-growing company in Canada. We have won numerous awards and have been deemed one of the 30 best work places in Canada. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1904371\" data-originallang=\"en\">The reason I point that out is that we do not underestimate the competitive power of the incumbents. We are ready, willing, and able to successfully compete against them. We require capital on reasonable terms to do that, and we can't get capital on reasonable terms under the existing regime.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1904369\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'aimerais souligner que ce que vous d\u00e9crivez comme un d\u00e9fi est \u00e9galement une occasion. En tant que nouvelle entreprise et en tant que nouveau venu, notre objectif est de cr\u00e9er de la concurrence, et il y a bien assez de place pour tout le monde. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1904370\" data-originallang=\"en\">L'autre point que je voulais souligner est que notre entreprise a 12 ans. Nous faisons concurrence aux entreprises titulaires depuis longtemps et nous avons eu du succ\u00e8s. Nous sommes l'entreprise canadienne dont la croissance est la plus rapide. Nous avons remport\u00e9 de nombreux prix et nous sommes consid\u00e9r\u00e9s comme l'un des 30 meilleurs milieux de travail au Canada. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1904371\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je souligne cela parce que nous ne sous-estimons pas le pouvoir concurrentiel des entreprises titulaires. Nous sommes pr\u00eats \u00e0 leur faire concurrence et \u00e0 r\u00e9ussir, et nous sommes capables de le faire. Nous avons besoin d'un capital raisonnable pour le faire et nous ne pouvons pas l'obtenir sous le r\u00e9gime existant. </p>"
