Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Good afternoon, Minister. I am very happy to see you again. It's been a long time since we last saw each other.
I will not talk to you about culture right away. I want to discuss the aerospace sector. Obviously, the Saint-Hubert Space Agency is now part of the City of Longueuil, and that large district.
The aerospace industry is a major sector for Canada. Our country ranks fifth in that field internationally. However, with Budget 2012 introducing some major cuts in this industry, and despite the 2014 framework you announced, the field is still looking for results.
How can the Technology Demonstration Program support the industry with only $30 million over three years when the Emerson Report was calling for $90 million?
