Thanks so much. I want to start off by just thanking everyone for their excellent presentations and give a special thanks for Mr. Oldham. I know you're about five hours ahead, so I know it's a special effort for you to be joining us today. Thank you.
My first question is to Ms. Paish. Ms. Paish, the superclusters were originally created because we wanted to take companies' creative ideas and investments already made in a fairly promising industry and we wanted to add government funding and investment so that we hopefully would create a world-class industry. We wanted to start anchoring and start investing in key industries that we thought not only would be great for the Canadian economy but also would create world-class sectors within Canada.
One of the criticisms that I've been hearing is that 22 months later, or two years later, we don't have very much to show for it. They say we haven't created any jobs and ask what the value is for money that Canadians are getting right now.
How would you respond to that? How has Canada invested thus far, specifically talking about the Digital Technology Supercluster? How have we benefited, and how are you evaluating success as we move forward? I believe it's a 10-year investment.
