Thank you.
In 2016, I asked a question at the finance committee about how competitive we are in Canada compared with Germany and compared with the United States, and the numbers are horrible. The numbers are scary. We are down on a scale of 25% to 30%. That is very concerning, because you touched on the culture. I was an exporter myself before politics and I know that you need a cocktail of it all in order to be able to provide a competitive environment for our businesses.
As I said, again, if you can't sell it locally, you're going to have a hard time selling it internationally. That's where, if we're not competitive locally, we can open the door for competition from outside to come and sell products here. In the area of the green revolution and everything going toward that, I'm concerned and I'd like to hear from you one more time what the government role is going to be in order to be able to enhance that.
