Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Gentlemen, thank you for being here with us today.
I was struck by how different your presentation was from the others we have heard. It was not necessarily negative, it was just more specific.
You referred to four operational priorities, namely, innovation; trade and investment; indigenous economic development; and defence procurement. The latter is a very specific sector of industry. In general, we hear about innovation, exports or export policies, but rarely about priorities related to a specific industry.
When was this operational priority set? Why is it specific to British Columbia? What results have you achieved so far on this priority? In the other presentations we heard, there was nothing as specific about an industry.
