Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Gagnon‑Gordillo, thank you for being with us today.
In November, Luc Sirois, Quebec's chief innovation officer, gave an interview to Québec Science magazine, during which he said that our companies are struggling to make investments in research and development.
Similar comments were made to this committee, including by Alain Lamarre in the study on the capacity to produce COVID‑19 vaccines, and by Alexandre Blais in this study.
Do you think the federal government can play a role in attracting more private investment in research and development, particularly in Quebec?
What do you think needs to be done?
