I thank you for that.
I want to quickly go to the deputy minister for industry. I'd like to commend the department for the great work they're doing by complementing the financial program that's being tabled by the government specifically around innovation, expediting research and development and getting the product much faster.
One of the questions that's constantly coming as a lot of businesses are reaching out to my office is what criteria they will be assessed by when they reach out and say that they have this capability and they want to be able to retool. How does the department assess that? I'm sure there is an assessment.
You indicated that there are 5,000 applications and that nearly 200 have already been approved. Can you shed some light on that?
