Mr. Speaker, I believe that the hon. member is very aware of my reluctance to subsidize private enterprise. I believe that the best economic strategy is to avoid subsidies. This is not only advisable here in Canada, but also for all of the world's governments.
I accept what he said, and I agree with him that indeed there are other countries which subsidize the aerospace industry. This is one of the issues that we have to take into consideration when reviewing DIPP. He will also understand that the government is obliged to take its fiscal framework into consideration. I am ready to work with him and the aerospace industry and other sectors which are developing new technologies to try to find a new way of making them competitive with other countries of the world.
