Thank you for the question.
The Liberal Party said that it wanted to deal with the carbon issue. It's a fact that the transportation industry is responsible for 23% of the country's greenhouse gas emissions. Our goal, then, is to invest in the commercialization of energy-efficient innovations in the transportation industry. For instance, there is a hydrogen company in British Columbia, and Quebec has a hydrogen research institute. And both of them have developed wonderful applications that could find takers throughout Canada's north.
The Germans, however, hold patents and their products may cost buyers less because our companies don't have the resources to commercialize and sell their products. It's hard for them to compete with companies that have the upper hand over Canadians in the country. We want to invest that money in those Canadian companies. We want to help them commercialize their products outside the country, and their profits will generate our return on investment.
That's what C3E does. As a non-profit organization, we pass on the profits to the next company to create the wheel that will allow Canadians to engage in more commercialization all over the country.
We'd like to put in place a strategy, in other words, create a Canada-wide efficient transportation community. All the projects that universities are working on would be part of that platform, as would all of our promotional endeavours. Large entities would see Canadian innovations on that platform and be able to acquire them. Canadian companies would be in a position to export their products and import money.
