Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I also wanted to comment on the process versus politics. I think there's a real lack of productivity in this committee, and it's been very disheartening. This is my first term in office, and I'm really excited about this committee, and unfortunately, it's been very dysfunctional because of these kinds of ideas.
The witnesses we heard from today, and even the last two breakfast committee meetings we had, or subcommittee meetings, to me were some of the best meetings we had.They were depoliticized, and we heard straightforwardly where we need to go as a nation and as a country to help increase productivity as a government. I would recommend the mover of this motion to read those minutes. Unfortunately, he wasn't here for the breakfast meeting this morning, but the specifics were that people who live in protected industries are not as well off as those who work in a competitive nature.
As Mr. Lifson indicated, they have some real world solutions and really great practical solutions. I think government needs to focus on how we can accomplish those and what we can do to help industry move forward on innovation and creativity and increase customer service as well as offer a superior value. That's what I'd like to see this committee focus on rather than just politics.
I won't be supporting the motion. Thank you.
