Thank you.
I think we have a serious problem and, in trying to solve it, we have created others. I will give you some examples.
The government pays for missions to China, in which Canadian industries participate. We are trying to understand how these industries can make more money by having their products manufactured in China, which means that they have to give up part of their market to that country. This is the first problem.
Moreover, in my opinion, the automobile pact with Korea will not be beneficial to subcontractors.
In addition, as Mr. Persichilli said earlier, we are now talking about tax credits. However, we will have to start making money and paying taxes to make it worthwhile. If we fail to make any money, we do not pay taxes. Therefore, tax credits are useless.
We are also talking about innovation. Within a year or two, this word will be overworked. It is used for any circumstance.
Lastly, with regard to intellectual property, when new discoveries are made, it takes so long to secure protection those other countries and individuals, even here in Ontario, can copy the new product. We would have to get to the root of the problem, I guess.
I am asking you the following question. How could we get to the root of the problem in order to get out of this crisis? We have to admit it: the industry is in a crisis and it is not a superficial crisis. It is really a deep crisis. Earlier on, we were talking about education. Even with all the education in the world, if the fundamental problems are not solved, we will not succeed.
What can we do to, at the very least, stabilize the crisis and then find a way out? This is what I want to know from you.
