Thank you very much for your question, Mr. Paillé. Regarding programs that involve large companies, that is multinationals like Sikorsky, Boeing or Pratt & Whitney that are generally awarded federal aerospace or defence contracts, they allow these companies to invest in venture capital funds. The current system doesn't exactly encourage or facilitate this type of investment. According to our research, only two agreements of this nature have been concluded, one with Boeing and one with Sikorsky. The agreement between Boeing and the venture capital corporation was three years in the making!
A number of people believe that we are on the cusp of a major expansion in terms of defence and aerospace procurement that will play out over the next decade. Several people have quoted a figure in excess of $200 billion. So then, if we want to make it easier for high-tech or cutting-edge businesses to access capital, one possible solution is to facilitate, encourage and promote investment by Boeing and other companies.
