Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for being here this morning. What they have to say is extremely informative, especially since the topic of our study is an issue of significant concern.
I'm going to start my questioning with Dr. Layzell.
You talked about what we need to do with the value chain, which is to be ambitious, make early investments and create these hubs. You then said that we must act now.
Some of the big items that you're talking about.... There are certainly the top four things that we need to do, but for the purpose of our report, we sometimes like to have specific granular suggestions as to how we accomplish all of these.
What can the federal government do to act now to ensure that Canada has a chance to be a world leader in the sector and to take advantage of these opportunities? You talk about these financial opportunities and this transition. That's the name of the group you're with, Transition Accelerator.
This is very important to our country, so I want to hear more in depth for about a minute. Perhaps you could get really specific with us as to what you would want to see the federal government do to really help to accelerate this transition.
