Mr. Chairman, may I start on that and then hand it off to others around the table?
In the remarks I made, I mentioned a number of funds that have been created by the federal government, and it was alluded to earlier by Ron Oberth that we're not always first and foremost in the mind when it comes to areas of innovation. Mission innovation is a very important doubling by the federal government of clean tech, clean energy funding.
In Canada, we as an industry are now accepted as part of that clean energy, clean tech, array of technologies, but we want to access that. That's why, as I mentioned, we're preparing a technology road map to set out for the government and others a better understanding of the decision points and the type of role that the government will play in partnership with industry in co-funding or working out different types of arrangements that allow the innovations to go forward.
I'll just stop at this, but the point is that we are an industry where.... If you look internationally, you will see that there is no other country that is an active vendor of technology for international markets that does not have a very significant role for the government to play. Our efforts now are to help articulate and identify what that role would be, in a way that does not, of course, expect the government to do everything for us. We want to meet partway, halfway, or wherever possible, to bring these ideas and say, “Here is the policy framework. Here is the access to the investment funds that you've already set. Can you include us? This is what we think we can deliver.”
