I appreciate that.
It sounds to me, and I think it sounds to most Canadians, given our support to the aerospace sector since around 1959.... You seem to be indicating to this parliamentary committee that you expect it to be around for quite some time; because other governments are doing it, our competitiveness is at stake.
It sounds like this is a structural subsidy to the sector, and could potentially be a cause or a reason as to why the industry is not being held in compliance with reporting under its contribution agreements.
It does kind of baffle the mind as to why, if someone's receiving hundreds of millions of dollars in assistance from the Canadian taxpayer, they're not being held to account to at least report, as per the contribution agreements, for those hundreds of millions of dollars.
Could you report to the committee your activities to actually get compliance from those who are receiving those types of taxpayer dollars?
