Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thanks to all the witnesses for being here this evening.
I hope that you and your families are healthy and safe during this pandemic.
I have several questions, and I'll begin with Ms. Benoît. I'd appreciate brief answers, please.
Ms. Benoît, I felt frustrated when you discussed the importance of investment and the fact that the government, to date, hasn't been there, even though we're talking about a lot of jobs here. This is an extremely important industry, and many jobs are at stake. When I compare it to the banking system, Canadian banks have so far received $750 million in cash from all the federal institutions. I'm frustrated that the aerospace industry hasn't received the necessary investments.
You also said there were delays in obtaining export permits. I'd like you to tell me a little about that.
Are delays in issuing export permits the federal government's fault?
What are the consequences of this situation within the industry?
