Hi,

Not sure if anyone is familiar with the business process here in Canada, however my wife has come up with a brilliant idea.  Similar to a particular product currently available, however with a twist.  We have never seen or heard of this being marketed the way we are planning on.

Now the thing is,  we don`t know who to bring this idea to initially in order to:

a) ensure that her idea is not stolen
b) ensure that this idea is even feasible
c) get advice on where to proceed from here, in terms of who to contact next, steps to take, funding etc

We are not sure where to go from here.  If anyone could offer some advice that would be great!

Thank you so much
