Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Ms. Ippersiel, I'd like to know more about PRIMA Québec's vision. Your organization represents an industry that deserves to be fully recognized in the advanced materials sector. There seems to be a growing number of companies that gravitate to PRIMA Québec. The contribution of these companies to the advanced materials sector is more than $14 billion to the advanced, a sum that is obviously significant.
Do you think there is a role for the federal government to play in attracting more private investment in research and development, particularly in Quebec?
What do you think needs to be done?
