Mr. Speaker, my colleague has clearly done his homework on several aspects of the report of the Standing Committee on Industry and Technology. I would like to take this moment to acknowledge the excellent working relationship I had with his colleague, the member for Windsor West, on the issue of the aerospace industry, in particular.
The committee's report contains seven recommendations that touch on important themes: the idea of a centre of excellence, research and development, basic research, greener aircraft, energy transition, the circular economy, recycling, maintenance, innovation and procurement.
The member will no doubt appreciate recommendation 7 of the report, which reads as follows:
That the Government of Canada collaborate with provinces and territories to fund post-secondary training across all sectors of the aerospace industry, adequately accessible all over Canada.
I believe that is one of the things the member brought up.
I would also like to talk about recommendation 5, which he touched on quickly:
That the Government of Canada, following consultation with industrial partners and labour representatives, develop a national strategy for its aerospace sector.
That is fundamental to a vision for the future.
Is the NDP ready to work with the Bloc Québécois to put pressure on the government to implement this strategy and a vision for the future of Quebec's economy for the next 20, 30 or 50 years?
