Madam Thomas and Mr. Petelle, thank you for being here. It was very helpful for me to have a better understanding of the issue.
Canada's population is such that we produce a whole lot more than we consume. Mr. Longfield and Mr. Saini were discussing, both in a positive way, how government can be helpful in expanding innovation and research to increase exports.
I'll ask the question a little bit differently. Since we need to export, are there any impediments—other countries, or just issues—that the government can be helpful to you in eliminating?
