To help keep jobs in Canada, in the auto sector, we have to recognize that the auto sector hasn't stood still in terms of technology either. Every year we get about 5% more productive, just in the automation of our systems, and we are intensely competitive with my colleague next to me. I'll remind her that we outsold her in Canada for the last couple of months, but technology is a very important thing that we need to focus on.
I spent a full day at the Université de Montréal and McGill University, and we are investing in all kinds of high technology software. In Canada, we have unique strengths in this area, with artificial intelligence at the Université de Montréal, and we shouldn't forget this. The automotive sector is going to be one of the largest platforms in the world for new technology. We need to grow the jobs in that area as well as the traditional jobs that we've had.
If we focus only on the traditional jobs, we will not grow. If we look at where the future is going, and we think about things like intellectual property, the movement of people, liberating the technology and the intelligence in our university systems to better commercialize products in Canada, and grow Canadian start-up companies, then we're going to actually grow, and Quebec is going to be a hot spot for that.
