I rise today to speak in favour of this motion moved by the member for Werriwa, and I thank her for moving this motion. As someone who was an advocate for science and engineering for more than a decade before coming to this House, I know what a difference this will make. This contrasts with the previous government, which abandoned manufacturing in this country and have no credibility in these policy areas.
