However, elements of the infrastructure exists. Obviously, industry talks to union and each talk to government. Industry does have a responsibility to get its act together to act in unison in terms of its position with government, but there is no formal infrastructure for consultation around programs such as the fall economic statement's response.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7491672\" data-originallang=\"en\">I don't want to sound like I'm defending the government, but on the other hand, the IRA really came out of nowhere. Nobody expected it, and then bang\u2014all of a sudden we get this awesome piece of legislation. It caught everybody by surprise, and we need to act quickly.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7491673\" data-originallang=\"en\">Industry is prepared to react quickly. I would say that the jobs that are going to be created by the clean energy revolution and the transition of clean energy in Canada are going to be excellent jobs. There's no question about that. We just need to move on with it, because if we don't, we are going to miss the boat. We will not be in second place; we will be in seventh or eighth place.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"7491670\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je vous remercie de votre question, monsieur Blaikie.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7491671\" data-originallang=\"en\">L'infrastructure n'existe pas au sens classique du terme. Cependant, des \u00e9l\u00e9ments de cette infrastructure existent. De toute \u00e9vidence, l'industrie parle aux syndicats et ceux\u2011ci parlent au gouvernement. L'industrie a la responsabilit\u00e9 de s'organiser pour agir \u00e0 l'unisson en ce qui concerne sa position \u00e0 l'\u00e9gard du gouvernement, mais il n'existe pas d'infrastructure officielle de consultation concernant des programmes tels que la r\u00e9ponse \u00e0 l'\u00e9nonc\u00e9 \u00e9conomique de l'automne.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7491672\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je ne veux pas donner l'impression de d\u00e9fendre le gouvernement, mais d'un autre c\u00f4t\u00e9, l'IRA est vraiment sortie de nulle part. Personne ne s'y attendait et puis, tout \u00e0 coup, il y avait cette incroyable mesure l\u00e9gislative. Elle a pris tout le monde par surprise, et nous devons agir rapidement.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7491673\" data-originallang=\"en\">L'industrie est pr\u00eate \u00e0 intervenir rapidement. Je dirais que les emplois qui vont \u00eatre cr\u00e9\u00e9s par la r\u00e9volution de l'\u00e9nergie propre et la transition vers l'\u00e9nergie propre au Canada seront d'excellents emplois. Il n'y a aucun doute l\u00e0\u2011dessus. Nous devons simplement aller de l'avant pour saisir cette occasion, car si nous ne le faisons pas, nous allons manquer le bateau. Nous ne serons pas en deuxi\u00e8me position; nous serons en septi\u00e8me ou huiti\u00e8me position.</p>"
