Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to begin by asking you all to take off your innovation hat for a second and put on your business hat, because at the end of the day you're all business people.
I'd like you to comment on the fact that, as you know, our government has a plan that is squarely focused on a jobs and growth agenda. We've been recognized around the world by a number of international organizations, including Forbes magazine, as the best place to be doing business. We have the number one performing economy in the G-8. I just came back from Washington last week, and a number of the top policy-makers down there are very envious of us. The U.S. used to be a great place to do business, and now Canada seems to be the number one jurisdiction to be investing in and to be creating jobs.
How have the policies we have undertaken, such as lowering the federal corporate tax rate to 15% and creating tax credits for innovation and technology, benefited your businesses and led to your ability to focus more on creating innovations and innovative technologies in the transportation sector?
Do any of you want to jump in first?
