We spoke earlier of the sixth generation. A number of companies and countries are looking into this possibility. We know there are three right now, and that includes not only European countries but Japan as well, for example. We're wondering how to proceed, because there are a number of options. We can do what we did during the pandemic, which is put our eggs in several baskets, for example for vaccines. Would it be worthwhile to do the same thing for the sixth generation? Should we be assessing who gives us the best options?
One thing is certain: You have to join the various programs sooner rather than later. As the Auditor General said, as soon as you sign on to a program, you know a lot more about the costs and opportunities for Canadian businesses. Being there from the start changes everything.
