Good morning, and thank you to the witnesses for their presentation.
We're here today to talk about innovation in the aviation sector. Maybe I'll start by talking about the difference between invention and innovation. Invention is commonly referred to as creator-driven. It's the creation of something new whereas innovation is usually something that responds to a market demand, something that provides some sort of a public benefit, be it a social benefit or economic growth.
So with that concept in mind, we also have to look at the difference between market pushes and market pulls. Market push is the push of an invention into the market to try to create a demand, whereas a pull is where there's an existing demand that you can easily adopt a technology to. So bearing those four principles in mind, how do you think that Canadian aviation could allow for better adoption of technology, knowing that the path to adoption is usually a market pull factor?
