Resuming the meeting.
We are now ready to begin the second hour of the meeting of the Standing Committee on Industry and Technology.
With us are two representatives of the Department of Industry: Francis Bilodeau, assistant deputy minister, and Mark Schaan, senior assistant deputy minister, strategy and innovation policy sector.
Thank you both for joining us.
Without further ado, we will continue the discussion.
I give the floor to Nathaniel Erskine‑Smith for five minutes.
