Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you to all the witnesses.
I'd like to split my time between Mr. Chartrand and Mr. Greenley.
Let me start with you, Mr. Chartrand.
In your opening remarks, you talked about research and development, green technology and the concept of an aerospace innovation fund, and then you transitioned into bringing examples of how other governments or other jurisdictions have combined all of these as success factors.
As you were going through your testimony, government programs such as the strategic innovation fund, BDC, EDC and the Government of Canada procurement strategy stood out in my mind. I looked at the AIAC's proposed recommendations, including to establish the restart strategy. Can you tell how, in a very specific way, we can support the restart strategy using existing resources in a very effective way? I am referring to mobilizing things such as SIF and BDC to give funding to small businesses, and EDC to secure insurance for sending our support internationally, and government programs.
