I think, again, funding demonstrations of Canadian technologies into this market...the time is now. For example, it's already impossible to take the technology and put it on a 2017 vehicle. If it's already proven in the automotive environment, we are looking at 2018 and 2019. There are all kinds of Canadian technologies available that need to be demonstrated into this environment before some other country or companies do it, technologies that are going to have those very advanced systems going forward.
These are very advanced systems. They're very small. They're very exportable. They're made on highly automated manufacturing systems. They are the ideal sort of product for Canada to get into. The core technologies are here, but I think we need to create a stimulus to find those technologies and do it.
In the last one to two years, I have gone out through my committee. We've found 30 to 50 small Canadian technology companies that have relevant technologies. I took a list of 35 to General Motors Canada and asked, “Are you interested in meeting these?” They took a short list of 28. We set up a demonstration of 28 small Canadian technology companies that are traditionally outside of automotive but have relevant technology.
After we did a one-day technology show at GM's Oshawa engineering centre, six or seven of those companies started moving forward with General Motors. This same group of companies is looking for demonstrations because car companies are saying, “Show us.”
