Thank you for addressing that.
We often hear that manufactured materials are our biggest shortcoming. We have excellent raw materials in Canada, and lots of them, but we send them elsewhere. Take wood, for example. We buy tables made in China. I'm giving wood as an example, but it could be another industry.
Has the agency held programs or conducted studies to encourage this seasonal industry to get into manufacturing? It could be primary or secondary manufacturing of products from the seasonal industry.
