Okay. I am going to take the opportunity to answer Mr. Deltell's question as well.
When it comes to innovation, entrepreneurs run into a lot of obstacles at the municipal level. Patricia Gomez talked to you about that. In our ecosystem, there are at least 80 people who, like her, have solutions. However, they do not have the resources to implement them. The challenges that municipalities have to meet have been the issue.
That said, there are innovators who have solutions when it comes to collecting data and keeping it up to date, to provide access to high quality data everywhere. Some design smart meters, others collect algae for producing biogas.
The Federation of Canadian Municipalities can give the municipalities a mandate, to help them. It could be done using grants and awards. In this way, innovations could be developed, or at least tested. At present, because we do not have the appropriations or funds needed to help local entrepreneurs, they go elsewhere. We are exercising leadership at the global level, certainly, but these entrepreneurs do not have enough reasons to stay in Canada.
There are a lot of young innovators in Canada when it comes to technology, but they are going elsewhere. That is truly unfortunate.
That flushing sound we hear is that we're going south.
