Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Welcome to our witnesses.
I'm going to follow up a little bit on the whole idea of clean technology and the opportunities that should be there for the development of it in those industries between Canada and Japan.
Having had the great fortune to be in Japan several times, I have to tell you that when I looked at the ranking between Canada and Japan, I was a little bit surprised that Japan was further down the scale than we were, quite frankly. It's an extremely clean country. They are very conscious of everything that they consume and use. The idea that we're actually ahead of them is commendable for Canadian companies and for your industry in particular.
The other thing that obviously comes out of that is the opportunity to increase our trade in clean technologies with Japan and to have Japanese investment coming into Canada. We're in early days on a trade agreement with Japan. We've really just set up the parameters and we are engaging in a real and obvious way. On the idea that we could get foreign investment from Japan, are we starting to see some more interest in Canadian companies already, or is that something we need to build on?
