Thank you, gentlemen, for being here today.
My question is for you, Mr. Wilson. I've always appreciated what your organization does and some of the suggestions you've always made to all governments about how we could be more competitive. In Niagara we have probably about 1,000 manufacturers. Even though we got gutted, as everybody else did, and lost a lot of the big ones, the biggest challenge is that most of them have under 10 people; they're small shops.
My question is this. What do you see as our competitive advantage? Maybe another way to put it is how can we compete with the U.S.? What should we be doing and what are one or two policy items we could look at to make us more competitive? We have higher energy costs here in Ontario than there are in the States. In the States they have all kinds of incentives, locally and regionally, etc. How are we going to compete, or what could be our competitive advantage as we move forward in trying to grow those SMEs?
