You have only to look at the massive innovation engine that the U.S. Department of Defence represents to understand how government can use public procurement spending to generate innovation in an aerospace industry.
The government can use and leverage the money that it spends to encourage innovation in a number of different ways. Again, the long answer is much longer, but the bottom line is that the government spends a lot of money on aerospace products. I believe it has the right and the duty to explain to the industry that it's buying from what its industrial policies are and what its expectations are on the companies it spends that money on and how those companies spend that money in Canada.
I think there are a number of different levers the government can use to encourage those people who are the recipients of government funding to use it in ways that the government wants them to, which includes fostering innovation.
