Thank you very much for your question.
First of all, you're right. The OEMs, the automakers, are foreign owned, but what has been found--and this has been the case for a long time, and each of the OEMs is a little different in this respect--is that of the five companies, the Canadian arms of at least a couple of these companies have very strong research and development mandates within their companies.
They have to compete internally for those mandates, but the folks in Oshawa at the General Motors' regional engineering centre, the people in Windsor with DaimlerChrysler Canada's ARDC, and the soon-to-be-opened Ford innovation centre in Oakville, and also the international truck and engine innovation centre in Windsor have competed very successfully within their respective companies to be the people on a certain issue. No company would have all its R and D in just one place.
The other key point to make is that research and development activity in the world in more recent times and into the future tends to follow the talent. That's where it goes. It goes to where the people are available, who have the knowledge and the energy and the insight to make contributions. Whether those people live in our country or in somebody else's country, that's where the work will go.
So we find within AUTO21 that we're drawing interest from elsewhere in the world to access Canadian talent and know-how, and the trick is to do that without giving it away. The fact of the matter is that I think the talent we generate here will bring investment to Canada and be a net benefit.
Finally, in the parts part of the sector there are quite a large number of Canadian-owned companies whose headquarters operations are in our country, and we need to support those folks very strongly to make sure they keep their innovation activities here and employ our young people.
