Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you to all the witnesses. This has been quite an informative session.
Let me start by going back to a number of different topics that came up that resonated with me. To move on, we have to get the economy up and running. Then we have to keep it up and continuing to run.
I also heard a lot about resiliency and about a two-legged race, that we excelled in one and we forgot about the second, and we are hearing we did that some 25 years ago.
We also heard from Mr. Balsillie that he had hoped our committee or the government would have a list of sectors that would be prioritized in ramping up the economy and building resiliency on that.
Traditionally you could take a GDP-by-sector approach and say these are the sectors where we would ramp up and build in resiliency by putting in safety, tracking, testing and all of those things, and ramp it up and make sure that you bring confidence to the consumer to increase general demand again, but what I'm hearing from you, Mr. Balsillie—and I'll start the questioning with you first—is that we need to bring in the IP collective and we need to bring in the second leg.
If my understanding was correct, in the absence of not having a strategy, can you help us depict a strategy forward on which sector the economy will focus, in what area would we launch and how we build resiliency in that?
