For me, it's important that the government know there is a continuing role for the federal government no matter what the format is of its next step for restructuring. That is clear in any of the international markets that you study, particularly the countries that have domestic technology.
If you were to go to the CNA website, for instance, you would see a report there by SECOR. I think it was finished in about August of 2006, but has been on the site for some time. It identified what each country had done to assist their local industries. You will find that there was an active policy involvement, an understanding of energy requirements going forward, and an understanding as well that it was more than just the industry, which was coming from the government's positive public policy support for it.
It was, in fact, the development of innovative and imaginative research. It was the development of women and men taking leading roles internationally in science, in research, and in teaching. And then as well, it was the marketing of products abroad. There was a very strong presence by the government itself in helping the various elements of those national industries to reach out and market externally.
All of those items would be critical for the federal government, no matter what style of restructuring might be considered by Ottawa.
