Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I thank the witnesses for having come here to provide us with this information.
I note in the documents provided by Industry Canada that in 2001 there were 48,000 employees in the aerospace products and parts manufacturing sector, but that there are only 40,000 left, which represents a loss of 17%. The same Industry Canada documents indicate that currently, 20% of Canadian aerospace equipment is manufactured outside of Canada. The exportation of our jobs offshore increased by 12%. And yet job impacts were an inherent part of the evaluation of SADI.
Can you give us some more information on future job-related outcomes that SADI will generate?
