Thank you, Chair.
Thank you, Minister, for coming here. I echo what was said by my colleague. I think you bring a passion and a vision to this, and I think that's something that sometimes is sadly lacking, this vision. I commend you on your endeavour with the digital processes that are being put in place.
Down in my neck of the woods, in Chatham-Kent—Essex, of course, it was once known as the auto sector, and we've lost a lot of that due to, I think, what happened in 2008 to what was formerly known as the “Big Three”, and now the “Detroit Three”. You mentioned in your opening remarks how that was still an integral part of this government and your ministry's mandate, to maintain that sector. I wonder if you could just elaborate for the committee on what you're doing and what industry is doing to help make sure that this is going to be something that's here for a long time.
