Thank you, Mr. Chair, and to all of the witnesses for attending today. I'm going to build a bit on what we're talking about there.
We had some past presentations from the department. The department provided some information on the investment from the federal government in research and development. From the departmental perspective, Canada is ranking about third in R and D. Some of the numbers they provided were $102 million in energy efficiency, and a cleaner fossil fuel investment of $187 million, which made up about 29% of the total investment.
Have your companies accessed any of that to get where you are at this point? Is there potential that you see to continue to access those sorts of funding as you move forward? Are there plans to do that, and have you in the past?
