Thank you.
I am really looking forward to seeing Canada become the top country in the implementation of minimum standards. You can count on this committee to assist you in that task.
I will change the subject a bit. I am very encouraged by the measures in the budget that will provide Canada with a lot of success in the green economy of tomorrow. A lot of investments have been announced to that end.
On the other hand, one of the things that I hear a lot from businesses in my riding, but also from across Canada, is that Canada may be a little bit behind in its research and development efforts. In committee, we talked about the challenges facing manufacturing and other sectors in attracting more investment in research and development.
So I'm very pleased to hear that the Canada Innovation Corporation will be established to strengthen that. Can you give us more details on how that Crown corporation will be set up? What tools will it have?
