Thank you, Mr. Chair. I appreciate having the extra time. I'm going to start with Dr. Plourde first.
You said that one of the most important things we could be looking at here was to allow industry to play the key role and government to set policy. From what we've heard from speaking with many in the industry, I think they're not looking for handouts. They're just looking for a framework for them to work in. They will invest the money and take care of that.
What role do you see for us here, in this committee? What's the message that we could take forward to government and to the minister? What role do you see the government playing and what role do you see the private sector should have? Should we be getting out of the way and letting the private sector try to drive this innovation and the environmental policy, or not drive environmental policy but be more the leader than having government take that lead role?
