I would like to quote an excerpt from your report. I only have the English version. It says the following:
In 2009, total BERD by Canadian clean energy SMEs was $512 million. For the same period, total BERD by Canadian clean energy large companies was $1.02 billion.
We see that investment in companies' research and development has been declining since 2008. That sector contributes a lot to research and development. It helps increase our budget and expenditures in that sector. I think that's a success.
You also talk about the importance of establishing a national procurement policy.
Could you elaborate on that?
