Thank you, Madam Chair.
I thank all the witnesses for being here to answer our questions.
I believe that climate change is an extremely important issue. Many of my constituents in Saint-Laurent agree.
The riding of Saint-Laurent is also an industrial hub with lots of businesses and a technopark.
It's an issue that we can tackle first-hand just because of the technology that exists within the riding and the companies that produce this technology. There are many start-ups and there are many partnerships, even, between universities and companies, in order to come up with these clean technologies and with research that would back them up.
Can you please let us know how the Government of Canada and how we through this department can support these start-ups and support the partnerships between universities and companies to help them produce technologies that would allow us to go into the future in a cleaner way?
