Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Thank you all for painting a somewhat grim but nevertheless very definitive picture of what we face here.
I would first like to thank Mr. Wilkes and Mr. Mothersill for giving a very comprehensive report here with some suggestions. I'm going to leave that as it stands and move on to some other questions, but well done.
First, to Mr. Johnston—I want to bring you in here for a second—as an organization that really deals with bridging this gap over this so-called valley of death, do you have any comment on what that picture looks like in Canada relative to where Canada sits? What does the landscape look like outside of Canada compared with the kinds of circumstances we're facing here in terms of bridging that gap?
