Thank you very much.
What I'm hearing loud and clear is that our competitors are engaging in pretty assertive industrial planning and Canada is not. We have a pretty rich history of not doing that, going back at least 30 years. Canada's trying to develop a way to do that in order to respond to competitors that are frankly more serious about taking a coordinated approach to industrial development in sectors that appear to be, and ought to be, the future of our economy.
Mr. Risley had said earlier that he was hoping that there would be consultation with a sense of urgency around some of the items that the government's already announced in the fall economic statement. When we talk about that effort and the need to have labour and industry at the table with government, do those tables already exist? If so, where are they? What are they called? Who sits on them? How often does that regular consultation happen, so that we have a process of ongoing industrial planning, or is it the opinion of our witnesses here today for their respective industries that the infrastructure doesn't really exist?
I thought I would start with Mr. Risley, and then the other witnesses can chime in with whatever time remains.
