Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thank you, colleagues. When we talk about transfer of technology, it's something that we are most familiar with in a global context and we look at countries who have been very successful at achieving this and others who haven't. We use the example of Korea and the auto industry. Much of the technology that they have perfected and developed was through agreements and partnerships with the big three auto makers in the States. They, in fact, insisted that there be something left behind in their country and there be a real transfer of technology. Other countries like Mexico have been less successful. Countries have been able to operate factories and get access to cheap Mexican labour, but not really leave anything behind. If you look at the difference, Mr. Speaker -- and many economists have studied this -- the difference is in government policy and a commitment to this transfer of technology. I think that's something that is lacking in this government. It's something I would like to see improved and a good step towards that would be the creation of a statutory office that would look at procurement for this government. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
