I will quickly conclude in French by simply reiterating the remarks made by Mr. Lajeunesse.
Undoubtedly, the aerospace industry provides Canada with an opportunity to create more wealth. It is an industry that makes a clear contribution to the economy and the balance of payments. It is evident, however, that global competition is becoming increasingly fierce. Other nations obviously see the potential for growth of this industry and our market share is threatened.
We are here to ask you to not make the mistake of taking this industry for granted because it is an industry that promotes innovation and productivity and has a great deal to offer all of Canada.
Thank you.
