I know you've said multiple times already—and I think there are some other members who agree with you—that resuming the flow of funds to help continue to scale up and provide the financial support for companies within the ecosystem we're trying to help build.... I think that is a key role that the Government of Canada has played for 20 years through SDTC.
Your testimony today is helpful in understanding why we need to get things moving again, notwithstanding the gravity of some of the governance issues within the organization that have surfaced through the Auditor General's report. I really do appreciate your testimony.
How developed is Canada's current clean-tech market? Are we globally competitive right now? If SDTC didn't resume funding, do you think that would start to dwindle? What impact would it have?
Mr. Khan, I'll ask you, and then Mr. McArthur.
