Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Garrison, talking of ships and submarines, I toured the shipbuilding facilities in Halifax and I spent all night in our submarine, the HMCS Windsor, so I'm now an honorary submariner. Anyway, we will not go there.
Mr. Gray, you talked about BCIP. We have a lot of supply side programs in the government, but very little on the demand side. I'm glad that you're looking at SBIR, which has been quite successful in the U.S. We hopefully will get a program like that, but instead of adding one more program, I think the small industries minister mentioned, if I'm not wrong, there are 300 programs in our government today.
How can we rationalize that number of programs and get some good programs, something like SBIR?
I think that has more to do with Mr. Halucha's portfolio. We have so many programs here. How can we rationalize that and bring forward something like what Mr. Gray is talking about, the SBIR program in the U.S.?
