Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
My question is for Mr. Beauchesne. The end of your brief reads as follows:
What can the government do to help us? - Stop trade missions to countries classified as "exporters" - Protectionism: tax Asian imports of products that are available in Canada - Punitive tax on polluting countries - A legal entity to take prompt action against copies of patents - Simplified government assistance - Program to encourage companies from elsewhere to set up operations in Canada...
Could you tell us what led you to come up with such points? I want to come back to this punitive tax on polluting countries. What do you mean by this? I would like to understand the reason behind these recommendations.
