Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Madam Sannella, I was really interested in what you had to say. I actually have a personal connection via a friend of mine, Douglas Cardinal, a fairly famous Canadian whom you may have heard about. I was speaking to him recently, and it seems that he is finding more opportunities in the United States and China than here at home.
I'm actually surprised at some of the things you said, because it does make sense to me that your industry, for environmental concerns, the economy, and quality of life, is key to innovation and improvements in productivity and efficiency. I was curious and wanted to hear you talk a little bit more about this, because the government has come up with an S and T strategy. From your recommendations here, is it correct that your industry is not able to work with the government in the S and T strategy? Can you comment on that?
