Thank you, Chair.
Thank you, Mr. ADM and Madam Director General, for being here with us today.
I read the material prepared by the Library of Parliament regarding NRCan's policy and experience. I found outlined some unique characteristics of each sector in the natural resources industry. For example, for the energy sector it says there is a need for enhanced coordination of federal levels. For our mining sector, there is a lack of coordination among innovators and adapters. For the forestry sector, a national strategy is considered a solution to mitigate those innovation barriers.
What actions has the federal government taken to support the Canadian technology and to provide the coordination that the industry is looking for?
