Thank you so much, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank all of our witnesses again for coming out today.
I just want to start off, Mr. Chair, for two seconds to say I'm very disappointed by Mr. Hallan's new motion. I think it misrepresented what the governor was trying to do. I think he was trying to not respond to any policy decisions, but I think he was very fair in his testimony.
I'll also add to some of the comments that Mr. Sorbara mentioned around our economy.
Mr. Robson, I read a lot of your stuff and agree with some of it. I will say to you that the productivity issues that we've had are not just over the last 10 years. They've been over the last 30 years, at least. We have a lot of work to do. Unlike what my Conservative colleagues are saying, I don't believe everything's perfect in our Canadian economy.
I will say that it's really important to highlight that, over the last 10 years, we've had to grapple with a massive pandemic. We've had huge geopolitical changes. We have two wars going on. We have continuing impact on global supply chains. We have climate change that's under way. All of that is impacting all economies, and I would say that most economies are still recovering after the pandemic.
In fact, Canada is actually doing far better than most in terms of jobs, in terms of growth and in terms of our debt levels. It doesn't mean that we don't have a lot to do and that we don't have some challenges.
I have question for maybe Mr. Mueller.
One thing you mentioned was around SR and ED. If you had one recommendation that would be helpful to the aerospace sector or one change that we can make to SR and ED that would be helpful, what would it be?
