Again, my portfolio is international trade, but I will venture beyond my mandate a little bit here.
Let's take some examples. Let's take the shipbuilding industry. We are putting in place a procurement program that will have a massive procurement opportunity for shipyards. As you know, the Davie shipyard has now been acquired by a Norwegian company, so there again is an example of a government initiative that is really running counter to the competitive marketplace.
We're saying we need a stable, secure, vibrant shipbuilding industry in Canada. You need to have the manufacturing of vessels here if you want to have maintenance. We need maintenance for security and other reasons, going forward, so we're buying into that.
If you look at what we're doing on aerospace and defence, again there is aggressive acquisition of defence-related procurements, with very strong commitments to ensure benefits to companies in the Canadian aerospace and defence sectors. Technologically, those are the richest sectors for technology and research in Canada.
A disproportionate amount--I know it's not enough, according to your party--of the benefits will go to Quebec.
