In 2012, President Obama, in a State of the Union speech, talked about additive manufacturing as a technology. He was the first president of the United States to talk about a specific technology, additive manufacturing, and he ordered the House of Representatives to give $30 million to this project. I turned to my wife and said, “What is he saying? I've already built it in Brampton.” We already had it.
What happened after that was that President Obama pushed that technology by pushing the support of government at every level and created America Makes. Based on that, he said that he would bring manufacturing back to the United States.
We were happy with what we had without any support. Now we are behind. With the CME, I established Canada Makes, which is similar to America Makes, but without real support of the government at different levels, so it is different when we to talk about action. There is a technology that is changing everything, a revolutionary technology, and we are saying, “Oh, we will see what is going on; wait.” We toured Germany for 10 days—a lot of beer, so don't consider that—and we talked about that, but we are behind from that perspective.
