Thanks, Mr. Chair.
I was listening with interest to the parliamentary secretary's comments about the 200 years of innovation. I'm interested in innovation in terms of building Canada's competition in the world. I looked at the World Economic Forum to see where our weaknesses are. One weakness I found in Canada's economy was that we're 49th in government procurement of innovative technologies. There are other economies lapping us on this issue. I know that we have the CICP program, and hopefully, with time, that will pick up and will improve our ranking in the world.
It's often been said that government is not good at picking and choosing winners and losers in innovative technologies. All the same, governments still do it. They do it in transport, in terms of modes of transport that they choose to privilege over others.
My first question is addressed to Mr. Treboutat. What proportion of services do you provide for automotive transport compared to rail, and how is the allocation of resources by mode decided?
