We have many asks, but two asks are for these two industries that are related to air transportation, the air transportation sector and the aerospace sector.
In the air transportation sector, we're looking for a targeted air transportation recovery plan and a long-term plan that looks at making sure that we're creating decent work for people who are working in the sector, as well as looking at implementing some rapid testing and other measures to potentially reduce quarantine when we know that folks who are travelling are not infected with the coronavirus.
We have a whole host of recommendations on that, which I would be very happy to send to all of you. It's a six-page plan.
Just this afternoon I met with our aerospace industry council to talk about our recommendations for how to move forward. We're seeing that the longer our airplanes are downed, the aerospace sector is beginning to see a lagged effect in their own recession. Mostly that's happening in the commercial industry, but it is affecting some military as well.
We'd like to see a focus on investment in fostering research and development in high-tech industries. We'd like to see a focus on buying Canadian—and this is the case for public transit as well—to make sure that when the Government of Canada purchases aircraft for multiple uses, including search and rescue, those aircraft are made in Canada. De Havilland would be a great example of some of those.
In addition to that, we're looking for an aerospace industrial strategy so that we can look at where we are now and then build towards a vision for the future that includes, again, decent work and the high-tech industry that Canada has been fostering for years.
