There is no help at the current moment. The help is to actually work for defence and have a contract. The industry strategy is relatively new, so I suspect that's coming through procurement.
How it would help me is that I have clients in the private sector who are benefiting from our technology. That technology creates a platform that I can use in defence. What I create in defence is slightly nuanced, but the technology is all the same. We're creating better technology by having more customers and building to different use cases. That allows my company to say, “We're going to sell this outside Canada now.” I can sell that technology in the private sector. I can sell it maybe to our friends through NATO on the defence side of things. It really helps a company like ours to stand up and have the use cases.
The first thing people ask when you try to export is, who is using this in Canada? Normally, in my business, the response is, “A few people are, but most of my clients are in the U.S.” What I'd like to say is, “Everyone in B.C., a bunch of people across Canada and the public sector are.” The people go, “Wow. Okay. Now you have a proven technology and a platform that I'm interested in buying because you have all the use cases there.” That's how I start to leap-frog other people.
It's competition. We need to compete in the world and we have to compete on our own turf first.
