Thank you, Madam Chair.
Although we're on opposite sides of the table, I think we're heading towards the same sort of vision or direction, especially given Mr. Chong's comments earlier with the minister, of looking down the road and utilizing this process as something of a lever to be more proactive. That's what I want to address.
Do you feel there is an opportunity to take what you've done—and I might add that it has been very in-depth—to encourage the development of an enhanced auto economy by way of incentives, leading into the future, and somewhat anticipating what those new technologies will be?
I spoke about this earlier with Minister Garneau. Do you feel there's an opportunity here to encourage new technology through innovation that will, one, develop proactive—proactive, not reactive based on defects—returns on environmental, economic, and social investments? Two, do you feel it will encourage new and improved product, produced right here in Canada, to obviously strengthen our overall GDP, but most importantly, to take that next step to fulfill the vision of being proactive in dealing with the possibility of future defects, environmental or social, and ultimately, of course, leading to economic growth?
