Thank you very much.
Thank you very much, Minister, for joining us this morning and for that presentation.
The first area I wanted to ask about is the innovative superclusters initiatives. For my riding of Oakville, this was a huge announcement. We have many advanced manufacturing concerns in my riding. There's food, innovative nuclear, aerospace, and of course, I'm home to Ford Canada and Ford's largest manufacturing plant in Canada. It's a really important area.
The one thing I heard from all the stakeholders working in this area of advanced manufacturing was what you said about the goal here, which is to go from an innovative idea to invention to commercialization to globalization, and assisting our homegrown Canadian manufacturers through that cycle into global competitiveness.
My first question is around that. Can you give the committee an update? Where are you in terms of the rollout? How do you see the supercluster initiative progressing? Maybe give us some highlights from British Columbia and from Ontario of what's happening in this area.
