Thank you, Mr. Chair.
We've seen Joe Biden's IRA. When I talk to people in industry, one of the things that they're so invigorated by is this whole-of-government approach, a whole larger economic strategy, not just sprinkling tax credits. They are in a global IP war with China as to who's going to be the innovator, who's going to control that market, so they incorporated all these facets in order to make sure that green technologies are going to advance America's economic, social and climate targets.
Now we've just seen in the recent budget of the Trudeau government that we have $85 billion in green investments, which is great. We've managed to secure a number of commitments to ensure jobs and apprenticeships. However, do you see Canada actually tying these investments to a larger IP strategy so that we actually benefit and are not just the traditional hewers of wood and drawers of water?
