Thank you, Madam Chair.
There are some extremely interesting concepts here. This raises the matter of the sovereignty, autonomy and self-sufficiency of our industry, and therefore of our supply chains. There has been a reduction in exports and imports and a disruption in the movement of our goods and services. The overwhelming majority of manufacturing companies have seen an impact on their operations. They have had to organize themselves differently and innovate.
The reliability and predictability of supply chains are critical to the competitiveness of the Canadian economy. We have to see to the visibility and traceability of elements throughout the supply chain, hence the importance of our infrastructure, data, trust and security. We need to ensure that our supply chains are both reliable and flexible enough.
I'm going to direct my question to Mr. Buhagiar of Supply Chain Canada.
What measures and decisions must the federal government take within its territory so that Quebec and Canadian businesses can improve the performance of supply chains?
