Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I think we'll do a trio here.
First, on P3s, in Ontario we have achieved great success through the P3 programs. I want to add that in Vaughan and next to my riding, about 100 metres away, the request for proposals for the new Mackenzie Vaughan Hospital is out now and we hope to see construction started this year. It will obviously be done through P3 financing.
It's a great financing vehicle. It's been proven to come in on time and on budget. I wanted to make that plug because I think it's very important to point out.
I come from a riding where we have many successful manufacturers. In fact, FedDev was in my riding last week and we presented one of the manufacturers with a grant and so forth.
I can look to two entities in my riding, a company called Micron Group of companies and Vision Group. Both are Canadian success stories. Both export over 50% of their products to the United States. They're hiring. They're investing. My concern is that we're not seeing enough of that in our manufacturing sector in Ontario.
Martin, could you point out two or three things that you think would help our manufacturing sector that we could do that would be great?
