Thank you.
I thank the witnesses for being here today. Given that the Deputy Minister of Industry Canada is here, I will take this opportunity to ask him a question.
Statistics Canada announced that, in the last quarter, Canada's economy grew by 3.5%. As you know, employment and the economy continue to be the government's absolute priority.
Despite the fact that the world's economy remains very fragile, do you think that our country is positioned well for the future? What advantages do we have compared with other countries?
