I want to thank all our witnesses who have said some very interesting things.
Ms. Bak, I will start with you.
We know that we have a record trade deficit. We have lost more than 500,000 jobs in the manufacturing sector. The situation in terms of value-added jobs is very bad in Canada. There is no doubt about that.
So I would like to know how we could implement policies to help create jobs in your industry. What is the job creation potential in clean technologies? What is the difference between our current percentage and the global market? What kind of results could we obtain by implementing policies that could really spark interest in the sector and promote it?
