Thank you very much for the question.
As I said in my opening remarks, innovation is absolutely critical to the aerospace sector. What we're developing now will be coming to market with a very long lead time, and innovation is absolutely critical. I'm very proud of the industry—it's the number one innovative industry in manufacturing in the country—just because that drives it.
You're absolutely right. The support from government through programs like SR and ED absolutely supports the industry. We're very appreciative of the government's maintaining of that program.
We're very encouraged by the defence industrial strategy. We have BOREALIS, which is now in place and is bringing together all these different programs, such as the strategic innovation fund, SIF. We saw a pretty major announcement under the defence industrial strategy for the NRC, with, I believe, approximately $900 million for drone technology. These are all very important pieces.
The one recommendation I have is that through some of the programs, such as SIF, we need to simplify the processes and make them more timely for industry. It's the age-old question of how to have government work at the speed of industry. It's very tough to do, but we need to take a look at some of these pieces, much like the procurement processes we have right now.
