If we look back on tariff strategies in particular, there's often this desire on the part of industry to say, “Protect us. Give us a barrier, and we'll do the right thing.” Often what happens is that the barrier goes up, and it becomes a period of profit-taking as opposed to a time of reinvestment into the sector.
Even when it comes to the deployment of funds existing under federal programs, it's extraordinarily important that they're not only for retooling for this model, but in fact there's a requirement for reinvesting into new technologies or the further development of industrial processes. We've failed to do that in most of the programs we've established in Canada, either provincially or federally.
