Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
I would like to begin by saying that this is an extremely interesting debate. I am part of a generation which, to some extent, made its appearance at the same time as nanotechnology. This issue is going to become increasingly important. My comments are along the same lines as those made by Mr. Malo, but I will focus more on the economic side of things.
Do we have any idea of the amount of money invested by companies in nanotechnology? Do we know the size and growth of the investment?
Mrs. Maniet, we have, for the past little while, been discussing Canada compared with Europe, but I would be interested in knowing the differences that exist between the U.S. and Canadian regulations.
