Thank you for the question.
The net zero accelerator, which is bringing billions of dollars in investments, is one of the concrete measures provided for in the budget. To speed up the development and use of clean technology made in Canada, Canadian industry players that receive these millions or billions of dollars should have to adopt Canadian innovative technology. We have to build a bridge between our industrial players and the SMEs doing the innovation.
I will make a hockey analogy. You are not going to make the playoffs if you don't give grants to industry players. To make the playoffs, you need a team. This team will be made up of players going from the first to the fourth line. The team will include industrial businesses who are looking for innovation. In Canada, hundreds and hundreds of businesses have developed new technologies and they would like to see them used here in the country.
That's one of the examples from the recent budget whereby Canada can further encourage ties between industrial players and innovative SMEs.
