Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My question is for Mr. Mueller.
Mr. Mueller, as head of AIAC, you represent the aerospace firms that will be asked to deliver much of the hardware systems and dual-use technology behind any Canadian defence modernization. In my riding of Windsor—Tecumseh—Lakeshore, Ontario, we have a lot of precision manufacturers, and we have some aerospace suppliers as well, even though they all face trade and workforce pressures.
What concrete procurement and industrial policy reforms should the government adopt immediately to ensure that the announced defence spending translates into sustained jobs for small and medium-sized enterprises?
