I'm sorry.
We're talking about the partnership between the federal government and CPIA. We have taken some positive steps to give our members tools to make them directly more competitive. In the question and answer segment, I can talk about some of the stuff we're doing in Quebec. But we have a number of recommendations, if I may illustrate them quickly, on what the government can do.
One is to adopt the future around the future of manufacturing. We believe that vision is around adding value to our natural resources through manufacturing. Instead of exporting our product in its raw state, we should make sure we provide value-added within Canada before it leaves the country.
We believe there should be an acceleration of the capital cost allowances to no greater than two years to enable companies to exploit the current exchange rate and to foster further innovation.
We would like the federal government to show leadership on an energy framework, which ensures adequate feedstock for manufacturing and the stabilization of energy prices.
We believe the federal government can create a sustainable regulatory environment within which plastics companies can operate efficiently and with some certainty.
We would like to see a simplification of the R and D tax credit regime, which would enable more companies to participate and benefit from the program.
Last but not least, we'd certainly like to partner with the federal government on trade promotion.
Thank you.
