Mr. Speaker, like the hon. member for Broadview-Greenwood, I am proud that the commitment by our government has always been to promote the industry and sustain the industry.
I am hearing from the industry that it is not after handouts. It really wants to be on a level playing field on an international scale. If we take a look at the successes in the aerospace industry, a major beneficiary of which is the region of Montreal, we would not have to look very closely to see the success of Canadair, the success of SNC-Lavalin, Bombardier, and recently the joint partnership that Pratt & Whitney announced with Russia.
If we are to allow this industry to promote itself and to grow, we have to give it the level playing field and the tools necessary for it to compete on a world scale.
