Thank you very much, Doctor.
My favourite country for innovation is South Korea. South Korea fits into the rock of Newfoundland and yet produces the same GDP as we do. Half of their GDP is innovation, so Samsung, LG, Hyundai.
The U.S. right now is in front of us. What I'm getting from you is that we need to have innovation in innovation.
Dr. Nemer, the U.S., for instance, has come up with a new energy earthshots initiative. They have clear targets where some of the most technological problems are solved. Right now they're doing hydrogen economy, battery long-term storage and removing greenhouse gases from here. Yesterday they announced a geothermal project.
Should Canada develop not just a CARPA, but a U.S.-style earthshots initiative to get ahead of the pack so we can become better at innovation in this nation?
