That's right.
In the case of optics-photonics, nearly 100 per cent of sales are outside the country, in Asia, in particular. Actually, they are selling pieces of something, so for the manufacturing sector, that is very good for the region. This is, indeed, innovation.
There are other sectors as well in research and development, for example, the water industry. At Laval University and the Institut national de la recherche scientifique, the INRS, there are extraordinary projects in this field.
When we talk about globalization, we have to look at all opportunities for innovation. We need to be familiar with the products that have been developed, but, once again, we have to go back to information. We have to determine what channels are the easiest and simplest. With the help of the INO, companies have developed in Quebec that are known around the world, because of their very innovative, high value-added products. I think we can do the same thing in other niches.
Since we are talking about infrastructure, I would like to say something about another project. We met with Mr. Desjardins-Siciliano to discuss an HFT in the in the Quebec City-Windsor corridor. I don't recall who comes from Windsor, but I met him a little earlier. Accessibility and mobility for people is also a very important issue. We are talking about the Trans-Pacific Partnership, but the issue of people's mobility is also very important and the government has to continue investing in infrastructure.
