I want to make a point that when we talk about the investments in R and D—and I appreciate all the investments that the department is making and all of that—the reality is that across Canada we have scientists doing massive letter writing, mailing, campaigns and rallies because of the lack of investment in R and D in Canada. It's not industry I'm referring to; I'm just talking in general of all across Canada, and it's a real rarity when you start seeing scientists start a letter-writing campaign.
On the issue of job creation, the minister mentioned the productivity concerns and so on. I recognize the department does a variety of different initiatives to look at how we can increase the productivity across Canada in various sectors. What is the department doing in particular on some of those sectors to deal with where those opportunities for investments are and what you can do to be promoting them and increasing productivity?
