Members, if everyone could please take their seats, we'll begin the second part of our program today.
We very much appreciated having Minister Ng here. Now we welcome the Honourable François-Philippe Champagne, Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry.
We also have some familiar faces from the Department of Industry, including Charles Vincent, senior assistant deputy minister, industry sector; and Benoit Tessier, director general, automotive, transportation, digital and industry skills branch.
Welcome to you all.
Minister Champagne, I will give you the floor for up to five minutes, after which you should be prepared to answer questions from the committee.
