"We talk about tax credits. In regulation, we also talk about tax credits, regulations, or new tax incentives. I'll go to the coalition.

" This is a new and emerging technology. It seems that what we've heard from a lot of witnesses in the past several meetings is that this is something that Canada could lead in and perhaps is leading in.

"Despite being a new industry, blockchain is having incredible impact on lots of different industries—finance, medical records, real estate and investing. The possibilities of the industry seem to be endless. I'm wondering if you can tell the committee where the industry is going.

What is the potential of the industry in the next 20 years?"
