Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to thank the witnesses for joining us today.
I would especially like to thank you for the high quality of your presentations and all the insight you have given us.
It pleases me to hear all three of you highlight the tremendous importance of innovation and research and development in your respective sectors.
As everyone knows, in the coming years, the Canadian population will experience significant growth, as will the global population, more importantly.
You talked about exports. Inevitably, then, we have to talk about increasing productivity. That means figuring out how you can increase your output to meet demand, not just here, in Canada, but also around the world, given that you export 90% of your products.
How can the Government of Canada better support you in your research and development and innovation efforts?
All three of you raised this important issue, so you can each have a turn answering.
