Glen presented two weeks ago to the Standing Committee on Finance. There was difficulty with the committee appreciating why we would need these tax incentives when we were making so much money. We talked about the shares being so high, but we really have to make that differentiation between the railways and the manufacturers. They need to buy what they need to make sure they're meeting their demand, but whether they're buying from us and we're contributing to the economic footprint in Canada or they're doing it somewhere else is the question we need to pose. We need to make sure we have a very competitive environment so that we can continue doing research and development and being world leaders in innovation.
We've done so much to automate ourselves and to become very self-sufficient as a sector. We see other emerging countries like China simply buying up technology. They don't want to buy from us; they want to learn how we do it and reproduce it themselves. If we don't sell it to them, they'll just rip it apart and figure out how to do it.
That's our reality. Whether that's legitimate or not, it's the context in which we have to compete. So we have to make sure we have a competitive environment here in Canada for rail manufacturers.
